As an ex climate change junkie, I overly understand what it does and what it did when it was first signed. The easiest way to break it down is we spend $10 trillion in 10 years. Other, more polluting countries vow to spend $0 over 10 - 30 years. They were allowed to be part of this. This is an awful deal. There is no consequence for failure. It is at best an illusion that anyone is helping.
I know someone very well who does a lot of business in China. His Chinese business partners are constantly having to warn him about being too trusting with the Chinese business community and Chinese officials. He said it was a steep learning curve having to stifle a lot of habits he didn't even know were there as a result of being brought up in the US, like mutual trust, reciprocity, and generosity as a show of goodwill. The Chinese business culture is soulless and rapacious. To think that they would honor this agreement in any significant way shows how stupid our politicians are. It's the same thing as the Iran deal. Obama/Biden think that the Middle East is going to love us if we give them money and say things like Pockeestahn instead of Pakistan. Nope, they'll just take the money and use it to keep trying to kill us.
