António Guterres says treaty will endure but urges US to remain amid reports of Republican plan to withdraw from the climate negotiating framework entirely
The world needs the US to remain in the international climate process to avoid a "crippled" Paris agreement, the UN secretary general has warned, amid fears that Donald Trump would take the country out of the accord for a second time.
António Guterres said the landmark 2015 agreement to limit global heating would endure if the US withdrew once again, but compared the prospective departure to losing a limb or organ.
"The Paris agreement can survive, but people sometimes can lose important organs or lose the legs and survive. But we don't want a crippled Paris agreement. We want a real Paris agreement," the UN secretary general said.
If the Republican candidate wins, his administration could withdraw the US from the UN climate negotiating framework entirely, according to reports. If he does so, it could require Senate approval for the US to rejoin.
"could" LOL
Not to mention, the Paris climate accord was way too little too late and we’re all still falling way short of even those goals! We’re producing more co2 than ever before. Why the fuck are these people lying to themselves and everyone else? WE ARE FAILING MISERABLY, DISASTROUSLY TO FIHT CLIMATE CHANGE.
That was my thought... like lol duh. We're all over here concerned about imminent fascism.
Who are these articles for? All those MAGAs who feel strongly about climate change, or Dems who would have voted for Trump if he's commit to GHG reduction?
Sanction them.
we all know how much that is being upheld
There is no such thing as bad publicity. People must really want that psycho back...
"People need to know how bad he is" Because it worked so well before... I'm sure THIS article about him will convince someone this time...
There is no such thing as bad publicity.
I am going to paste what I wrote in another thread this morning about Meg Whitman because this is just not true.
she totally inundated California. Every other radio and TV ad was about her. There were posters every place the campaign could think to stick them whether or not it was legal. By election day, everyone was so sick of her that she did not even come close.
I can only speak for myself, but as someone who before 2020 didn’t care at all to get involved in politics (aka voting), hearing about this literal meme causing real problems for real people all the damn time certainly did get me to vote.
Twice, now. When previously I couldn’t be bothered.
This man is so terrible that he’s gotten me to vote just to do my part in making sure he stays the fuck out of office.
The agreement that nobody but climate activists care about?
