    Default FORGET COP21: NOT A SINGLE EU STATE IS MEETING PARIS CLIMATE TARGETS

    Not a single EU state is meeting Paris climate targets, a new analysis finds.

    It’s been close to three years since countries worldwide signed the Paris Agreement, which obligates nations pledge to commit themselves to intending (or something like that) to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions in order to "safeguard the planet’s future”.

    The language of the Agreement is in fact non-binding, and so one wouldn’t be surprised to learn that some signatories might not be living up to the agreement’s spirit.

    “Relevant hoax”… all EU states “off-target”

    Well, here’s the real shocker: According to a new analysis by NGO CAN Europe, all EU countries are missing the Paris Agreement targets, as assessed by CAN Europe.

    So now it’s crystal clear: Europe was never really serious about implementing the Paris Agreement from the very start. It was nothing more than a New Year’s resolution which no one ever intended to stick to.

    Little wonder ex-NASA GISS director James Hansen just told the Guardian: “…the relevant hoax today is perpetrated by those leaders claiming to be addressing the problem.” Hansen is right.

    CAN Europe: dismal results

    The aim of the CAN Europe report was to examine “which EU Member States are willing to increase their climate action and tackle the gap between the goals of the Paris Agreement and current greenhouse gas emission reduction efforts in the EU.”

    Amazingly the biggest reductions in CO2 emissions are in the UK and USA. Green obsessed Germany's emissions have actually increased!!

    Exactly. Not if they actually had to pay for it themselves. As long as the U.S. was going to fund it though, they would make a little effort.

    So true. Solar panels and wind turbines have no beauty compared to the Black Forest. Not to mention the other wonderful views there.

    The Kyoto Protocol was a binding and tougher treaty and nobody honored it either so I am not sure why they felt that making it voluntary was going to be any more effective. Little more than a way to guilt money out of the west.

    Why India has pledged to.....BFD.

    This is India. They are not "green"

    Well you were never really hinged to start with, but you've become truly unhinged lately.
