I can't believe all that hard work in negotiation, deal making, back slapping and "save the planet" was a fraud. Really. Well...a little bit of fraud....

    The important part of the Paris accords was the "Green Climate Fund" where the designers had a pipe dream that the developed countries would give them a slush fund of $100 billion a year to hand out to assist developing countries in adaptation and mitigation.

    Of course there wasn't remotely that much money put into the fund, Obama only promised 3 billion and Trump stopped the last 2 billion from being handed over.

    It does explain the popularity of the accord in the developing world. It was never about CO2 it was about cash and power.

      There wasn't any agreement. They couldn't come to an agreement so they replaced it with a non-enforceable pledge from each country to say what it would do, if anything. If anything happened from that at all it could only be a net flow of assets out of advanced nations in a fit of guilt and, in the case of Obama, deliberate self destruction of the country as he operated on behalf of the takers and the hysteria. This is what they mean by "save the planet".

      The theme of this article was known before they ever signed the phony 'accord' -- they were all squawking that it wasn't enough to have the effect they wanted. But they had to table that when Trump cancelled the whole sham while with grand hand-wringing they blamed destruction of the planet on Trump's dumping Obama's destructive giveaway. We need to be saved from the irrational climate hysteria and its obvious dishonesty, irrationalism, and politics.

        Excellent point both of you. ewv is right on with "we have to be saved from them" comment, as it has permeated into everything, and anything, and is a common excuse for a lot of power grabs. And it was never about CO2....

          When the viros exploited the "spotted owl" as an "endangered species" to lock up the forests in the Pacific Northwest one of their leaders was caught on tape saying "if the spotted owl didn't exist we would have to invent it".

          If CO2 didn't exist they would have to invent it.

            The Lie of "silent spring" failed to tell you that spotted owl turned out to be a natural reject, a flawed species and had nothing to do with DDT, logging or anything else.
            These human looking creatures never learned a basic scientific fact that trees breath carbon in day time, exhaling OX and do the opposite at night...so it's pretty much a wash.
            Not to mention, when plants hybernate in winter or elongated cold cycles a lot of carbon is not used, it hangs around and ends up in the soil, ice and snow. That's why glacier layers show high levels of carbon...not because it was warm but because it was cold.

    From the article: "So, does this mean the planet is doomed? Hardly. As we have noted in this space many times, all those forecasts of global catastrophe are based on computer models that have been unreliable predictors of warming. And all of the horror stories assume the worst."

    Add this to it: those forecasts of global catastrophe have their basis in falsification and unjustifiable manipulation of data. Or, in the immortal words of Phil Jones, Director, Climatic Research Unit, University of East Anglia, Norwich, England, UK: "I've just completed [Michael Mann]'s Nature trick of adding in the real temps to the data series for the last twenty years, i.e., from 1981 onwards, and to 1961 for Keith[ Briffa]'s to hide the decline."

    It seems as if they are pouting, and hope disaster happens so they can say they told us so. Actually, they started this scam over 30 years ago, and were sailing along with Obama. Now reality has hit, they have said that CO2 is nott he issue they thought it was, but will keep looking for the causes of their faux warming. They even said they did not care if warming were true, as long as people believed it was, and they could control them. Why should we trow money at people who still want cars plugged in by the millions on a pweor grid not up to that sudden increase. Actually, they would love millions to plug in, take down the grid, and no one could go anywhere - Control, that is the goal.

    In the early 1970's, the scare was the claim that we were headed for global freezing. By now, the economy should have collapsed. This has all been due to invalid computer models of the world. Chaos theory shows how it is impossible to design good forecasting models.

      Yep, and incredibly sad how a small group can run away with a huge amount of money, based on a barrel full of lies and misinformation. It even masks the fact that there may really be a climate change issue, but not due to man, it's something else, like the big yellow ball, or even changes in air currents, sea currents, mushroom growths...but not man. Man is too puny to have a big impact, except in ancillary ways, like cutting down huge swathes of trees and such, but even then, it would probably be a small blip.

        If I steal from you, that is a crime. If all my friends get together with me to accomplish the theft, it's a Major Public Benefit because I have helped prevent the Nickursian Catastrophe that you would have caused with your ill-gotten wealth. If we can steal from nearly everyone that way, so much the better. We will be lauded as Public Heroes. We'll invent the Internet, too.

    The real fraud is the failed models that says there is any danger at all. It was clever of the UN to talk fraud in a way to encourage countries to be even more aggressive about GW.
