I supported the Accord until I actually read it. Even back when I was a leftie still. Anybody on the left who truly believes that we need to address climate change should be against it too, because it does nothing to actually address it. It just costs taxpayers a shit ton of money.
The two biggest polluters, China and India, don’t even have to start complying until 2030, and that’s only if economic conditions allow it. Meaning it’s optional. And they can continue to ramp up their industrial pollution until then.
It also has no enforcement or oversight mechanisms. It’s like giving your teenager your credit card and telling them to “only use it in an emergency,” then later having to explain to them that a new PS5 isn’t an emergency.
