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.

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?

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 7 points 1 week ago

Sanction them.

Drill baby drill. And in the mean time, import all the crude you can, refine it and sell. The shareholders must be paid!

This is clearly sarcasm. I assume the down votes are actually in favour of climate change?

[–] Badeendje@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Yeah.. I just refuse to use the /s .. so I revel in the down votes instead.

I have no clue how people can think the US becomes rich from drill baby drill. It's private companies that drill and make the money, while subsidised to the hilt by the US government. Any non oil executive or oil shareholder that repeats the slogan u ironically is a moron!
