Like Don pulling out of Stormy?

Sadly that did not happen with your parents.

Havana Poon has nothing to say about this important thread!

its all a hoax with scientists faking the data.

Hmm. Then why do you think negotiators worked so feverishly into the night to save it? Were there other countries that were pulling out of it too?

Damn good question.

@Sailor - did you notice Crypiss didn't/couldn't/wouldn't answer the question and F.L.'s answer was just juvenile? The question was apparently too good.
I take their non-answers as an admission that Trump was right about pulling out of the accords.

^^ A surprisingly common opinion among conservatives.

No amount of conspiracy theorizing, no amount of citations to obscure rightwing Denier Blogs, no trotting out of the same small group of fake experts and contrarians can change these simple facts, according to the Fourth National Assessment. And we know these with a high degree of scientific confidence:

Earth’s climate is now changing faster than at any point in modern civilization.
The changes are primarily the result of human activities.
The impacts of climate change are no longer theoretical – they are already being felt across the nation.
Americans are responding.
However, neither global efforts to mitigate the causes of climate change nor regional efforts to adapt to the impact approach the scales needed to avoid substantial damages.

The question as to how bad the impacts will be, what the cost-benefit is of ignoring the problem, and how long the environmental impact will take to manifest themselves are still open to questions and scientific research.

What is not open to question is that global warming is real, is primarily being cause by humans, and is clearly a risk to the global environment and human welfare. These are established with a very high degree of scientific confidence.

Clinging to preposterous conspiracy theories basically just makes you look troll-ish at best, utterly mentally retarded at worst.
