One of the hottest years on record.
Is among the hottest years recorded.
On the hottest year on record.
Another hot year.
Global warming!
What will we
do about that?
Politicians for most every country
promised to deal with it by
signing something called
the Paris Climate Agreement.
A historic climate agreement in Paris,
but when President Trump took office
he said,
"The United States will withdraw."
What?
We will withdraw?
We, alone?
President Trump isolated the United States
with his reckless
and indefensible decision.
My neighbors in New York agree with that,
and so do most of the media.
A lot at stake,
potentially for the planet.
Really?
I bet they don't even know
what was in the agreement.
I didn't.
Paris Accord was
somewhere between a farce and a fraud.
Manhattan Institute senior fellow
Oren Cass
is one of the few people
who've actually read the Paris Agreement
and also the commitment set in
by every country.
You don't even have to mention
greenhouse gases in your commitment
if you don't want to.
You send you in any piece of paper you want,
we're gonna staple them all together,
and we're gonna call that the Paris Accord.
Everyone sent in a piece of paper
and they stapled it together
and held it up and said
this is amazing.
China has made a major commitment.
So what's in the commitments
that every country made?
India has ratified the Paris Climate Accord,
committing the world's fastest growing economy
to limit carbon dioxide emissions.
What you find is they either pledge to do
exactly what they were already
going to do anyway,
or pledged even less than that.
China for instance, said
we pledged to reach peak emissions by about 2030.
Well the United States government
had already done a study
to guess when Chinese emissions would peak
and their guess was about 2030.
Peak doesn't mean stop,
it just means stop increasing.
That's right.
So in fact China promised
they will continue increasing their emissions
for some time to come.
And yet,
China was actually one of the better pledges.
India made no pledge to limit their emissions at all,
they pledged only to become more efficient.
But they proposed to become efficient
less quickly than
they're already becoming more efficient.
So their pledge was to slow down.
You know, my favorite was Pakistan
whose pledge was
to reach a peak at some point,
after which to begin reducing emissions,
and so you can staple those together,
and you can say we now have
a global agreement.
But what you have is an agreement to do nothing.
And if anything you've gone backwards
because whereas in the past
you could have criticized countries
and said hey, why aren't you doing anything?
Now we have an agreement that says
in fact, we will applaud you for doing nothing.
We came together
around
the strong agreement
the world needed.
Obviously President Obama
got a lot of political mileage out of that,
but the climate didn't get much at all.
The one country that showed up in Paris
with a very costly,
ambitious target
was the United States.
So President Obama took all the zero commitments
from everybody else,
but threw in a really expensive one for us.
Super expensive!
Obama pledged to reduce American emissions
by a quarter.
Of course it's true that
the United States produces twice as much
greenhouse gas per person
as China and India, so
isn't it on us to do more?
Even if we zeroed out
our emissions tomorrow
and the future of climate change is still a question
of what happens in China and India.
We're getting out.
When Trump said he was leaving the Paris Accord,
he was trashed
by politicians across the world.
I'm dismayed at the U.S. decision
to pull out of the Paris Agreement
President Obama said,
"This administration joins a handful of nations
that reject the future."
If the future is worthless
climate agreements that everyone goes to Paris
to talk about,
then
first of all that's a very sad future,
and it's one that we should
be proud to reject.
The earth is warming.
Man may well be increasing that.
But the solution isn't to
waste billions by
forcing emissions cuts here
while
other countries do nothing
while
pretending to make cuts.
Trump was right to
repudiate this phony treaty.
Most of us
didn't even know how phony it was.
But now,
we do.
