United States formally exits Paris Climate Agreement to curb climate change
On November 4, 2020 the United States (US) became the first country to formally exit the Paris Climate Agreement. The formal exit from the agreement happened over a period of three years, after President Donald Trump declared pull-out from the climate accord in June 2017.
Impact of US Exit:
i.US is the second largest emitter of Greenhouse gases in the world (1st – China), accounting for a total of 25 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions.
ii.US had promised to reduce its emissions by 26 percent to 28 percent by the year 2025 from 2005 levels.
Reasons for withdrawal:
i.Under the Paris pact, developed countries are under obligation to mobilize at least $100 billion every year from the year 2020 in climate finance meant for the developing world. The amount was set to be revised upwards after five years.
ii.US President, Donald Trump was opposed to this move and called it “unfair” and hence the withdrawal.
India’s Target under Paris Climate Agreement:
i.India is the Third Largest Emitter of Greenhouse gases.
ii.It agreed to reduce emissions intensity of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) by 33% – 35% by 2030 below 2005 levels.
iii.To increase the share of non-fossil based energy resources to 40% of installed electric power capacity by 2030.
iv.To create an additional (cumulative) carbon sink of 2.5-3 “GtCO2e” (Gigatonnes of equivalent carbon dioxide) through additional forest and tree cover by 2030.

The Paris Climate Fraud
President Trump is right to withdraw from the Paris Climate Agreement! The deal isn’t worth the paper it is written on.
But many politicians and much of the media are horrified. Al Gore called pulling out of the Paris Agreement a “reckless and indefensible decision.” Former President Obama said: “This administration joins a handful of nations that reject the future.”
Really? Have they read the agreement?
Stossel interviewed one of the few people who did, City Journal Contributing Writer Oren Cass.
He describes the agreement as “somewhere between a farce and a fraud.”
Why so dismissive?
Because, as Cass told Stossel, “you don’t even have to mention greenhouse gases in your commitment. You send in any piece of paper you want, we’re going to staple them all together and we’re going to call that the Paris Accord.”
What is in these commitments (or not in them) will surprise you.
China pledged to “achieve the peaking of carbon dioxide emissions around 2030.” That sounds good, except a U.S. government study, done before the Paris Agreement, estimated China would reach peak emissions by 2030. So China pledged to continue doing exactly what it was doing.
Yet Cass told Stossel China was one of the better pledges. “India made no pledge to limit their emissions at all. They pledged only to become more efficient…But they proposed to become efficient less quickly than they’re already becoming more efficient. So their pledge was to slow down.”
Pakistan’s pledge was even more meaningless, simply pledge to reak a peak emission “much beyond the year 2030.”
Cass says only one country took a different approach, the U.S., which set the goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 26% to 28% below 2005 levels, by 2025. “President Obama took all the zero commitments from everybody else, but threw in a really expensive one for us.”
Oren Cass and John Stossel don’t dispute basic climate science. Stossel says yes, the earth is warming. Man may well be increasing that. But the solution isn’t to waste billions by forcing emissions cuts in America while other countries do nothing– while pretending to make cuts. Trump was right to repudiate this phony treaty. Most of us didn’t even know how phony it was. But now we do.
World Bank President David Malpass earlier announced his resignation nearly a year ahead of schedule.
As calls grew for him to resign after he refused to acknowledge fossil fuels were causing global warming, Malpass announced his departure this week.
According to CNN, Malpass was criticized by climate activists for his refusal to confirm, during a climate panel, that burning fossil fuels is dangerously warming the planet.

The Truth About Climate Change
The Truth about CO2
Global Warming activists will tell you that CO2 is bad and dangerous. The EPA has even classified it as a pollutant. But is it? Patrick Moore provides some surprising facts about the benefits of CO2 that you won’t hear in the current debate.

What is CO2?
Carbon dioxide, or “C-O-2”, is naturally found in the form of a colorless, odorless gas on Earth. It is made of three atoms – one carbon atom, and two oxygen atoms. The molecule is held together by covalent bonds, which means electrons are shared between the atoms.
CO2 makes up about four percent of our atmosphere, and it freezes at about minus one hundred ten degrees Fahrenheit. Frozen carbon dioxide is commonly called dry ice. Because it takes such a high pressure to turn carbon dioxide into liquid, when dry ice warms up, it turns directly from a solid to a gas in a process known as sublimation.
Carbon dioxide is a rich source of the element carbon, the most important “building block” for life on earth. Green plants use carbon dioxide during photosynthesis. They turn the carbon into the sugar, glucose, during a process called “fixation.” Animals are then able to use this glucose for energy.
Burning fossil fuels like coal, oil, and natural gas release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Over a long period of time, using these fuels has increased the percentage of carbon dioxide in the earth’s atmosphere. This higher concentration causes carbon dioxide to act as a “greenhouse gas.” Greenhouse gases act like glass in a greenhouse by trapping heat below the atmosphere. Scientists think greenhouse gases contribute to global warming.
Carbon dioxide is very useful to humans. It is used to extinguish fires, and it makes the bubbles in soda and other carbonated drinks. Carbon dioxide from yeast and baking soda makes baked goods rise and CO2 even makes the holes in Swiss cheese! The right balance of carbon dioxide is imperative to our survival.
