He wanted to renegotiate. Most likely to force china to cut their emissions instead f just getting gibs from the US and Europe. That would be more emissions cuts, as the MIT research suggested.

Hey so, does anybody know the real numbers for primary forcing due to CO2 concentration? Like i understand there is supposed to be a feedback effect with water vapor where more heat is trapped and radiated between CO2 and water vapor, but what is the base number just due to CO2?

Also do they take into account the decrease in heat due to reflection of solar irradiance from cloud formation? Incomplete combustion produces condensation phase aerosol and you'd expect there to be an estimate of this cooling effect taken into account.

Try harder.

The Paris deal did nothing but further cripple the US economy and further enrich the Chinese economy. If you commies really cared about "muh environment" you would keep jobs and manufacturing in the US where there are regulations and worker protection. But no, you hate freedom and success. The entire purpose of leftist whining about the literal existence of weather patterns is entirely about weakening the United States and other successful western nations. Trump knows this and you faggots know it too.

Also idk where the commie thing came from. Being from a great lakes state, I feel that its within everyone's interest to maintain our environmental health. I also think that current economics generally doesn't factor in the cost that environmental deterioration can have on areas in terms of reduction in health, tourism, and agriculture.

>>128211161
That's not what I'm saying. I'm asking how effective this will be versus how much it costs. It's a decent enough question to ask, I would assume. Also, I'm hesitant to say that any climate change policy would be effective, unless China joins in on it. If big industries are hampered by this, they'll simply have more incentive to set up shop in China, or in any country that refuses to limit their emissions, which means emissions won't actually change.

If you want me to be on board with climate change policy, it needs to affect production capitals of the world that companies will just set up shop in once producing becomes unprofitable in the countries that have signed the policy.

Unless everyone signs in on it, basically no one signs in on it.

At least in the case of this paris thing, it doesn't even matter that China did join into it. China doesn't have to do jack shit until 2030. They could increase their emissions as much as they want. They could have 10X the rest of the world combined and it wouldn't make a difference. Once 2030 hits, there is literally nothing to stop them from keeping at that pace. It's just a list of things they'd like their members to do.

>>
>>128214036

I suppose I can get behind that stance. That being said, I feel like it fails to factor in political reality. If I were China I would argue at any meeting that called for large cuts for all nations, that the U.S. produces far more CO2 per capita than China (or even India) does, and that it is unfair to expect China, as a developing country, to make carbon cuts in the same amount of time as the U.S, a much more industrially developed country.

Furthermore, as far as I'm aware, China is already working towards reductions in pollutants and pushes towards Green energy.

I agree that a global, simultaneous shift would be wonderful, but I don't feel like pulling out of the accords is done in that light. Rather I feel like its done in order to benefit deregulation of the fossil fuel industries.

I agree that the Accords were largely symbolic, and perhaps I'm misinformed about their full extent, but I feel like a symbolic step is still better than nothing at all. I also feel like backing out removes the U.S. from any future leadership role on the topic.

Except, China isn't exactly a developing country, it's more or less a modern country. A shitload of Toronto and East Coast property is owned by rich Chinese. A lot of our manufactured goods come from China, and while it doesn't exactly have the safety and comfort of a developed country, it sure as hell has some economic power, and should be subject to economic regulations like any other developed country. And, China pollutes anywhere between 33-50% more than the US.

And, at the same time, while China has invested a lot into green energy, it has to. It's more pragmatic than anything, and just a way to utilize open space in the country side and the many rivers the country has.

I'm not really asking for a global shift, I'm asking for a shift between manufacturing powers like China, Mexico, Taiwan, etc. etc.

The Accords are a symbolic step forward that does nothing but cost money until 2030. Countries can do whatever they wish until the 2030's, and nothing's stopping them from backing out until then.

I'm honestly fine with not having leadership roles on that subject, if getting one means wasting a lot of money and sending more industry to parts unknown.
>>
>>128215683
Liberals' idea of "fixing problems" is putting retarded half measures in place and assuming the problem will fix itself eventually. In the case of climate change, their half measure approach is carbon credits, emissions standards, etc.


If they genuinely wanted to make a difference, they'd fund a massive overhaul of uranium fission plants in the US. For the same amount of taxpayer money that goes towards fossil fuel subsidies we could break ground on half a dozen new, 4th-gen plants every year. We could double the US nuclear capacity within 20 years.

China does have a ton of "green energy" and they plan on increasing that over the next few years a great amount. But the thing is they are also planning on building like 1 new coal plant a week during that time. So their total "green energy"(non hydro) share of energy production will increase from like 6% to 8%. they've just got so many people the numbers that come out looking insane like they are just super green and into wind/solar.

this article states that coal consumption has fallen since 2014

If China really wants to reduce smog, it seems silly to build more coal plants. Not that China is any green haven, but they seem to be attempting to move away from major polluters.

The whole paper is based on a guess of where he got the figure from, so the entire article, as well as your argument is based on pure assumption and not upon fact.

Also, it came out the NOAA document that was used to pen this Accord used falsified data in oceanic bouts to line up with what container ships were measuring. So the deal itself is built on a faulty foundation of politicized information.

This just skims the surface of this whole stinky mess of a street in India. Keep pushing though, RWDS cannot come fast enough

Interesting. Obviously my data was out of date. But is China just switching to Natural Gas though, which has gotten really cheap recently?

There is no way China will grow at the rate they need with just solar/wind, that is just a given. As much as I would like us to be totally off fossil fuels it just doesn't make sense economically at this point.

That third step is why he pulled out. I don't like Trump very much, but pulling out of this was absolutely the best move.

The only better move would be to re-write the US' commitment and re-submit it with sane terms.
If it was something like 10-15% over the next thirty years, that could be done. In fact Obama already mandated that back in 2009. 28% is akin to Miami and San Francisco sinking into the ocean overnight. China didn't even commit that much, and they have the most room for improvement.

All around a stupid deal for the US and anyone who disagrees is uneducated and/or braindamaged.

Hey bro they did a press release annoucing their results. Because it can sort of be spun to somewhat agree with Leftist narratives they don't have to actually publish the content of their study or submit it to peer review, don't be silly.

That makes sense. They have been overbuilding everything. Just like how they have all those pre-built cities which are now ghost towns.It seems to me like China has just experienced a construction boom, where they just built everything they possibly could without much care for how important it was. The leadership doesn't really have to answer to anyone so it's not too unrealistic. Maybe that's coming to an end now. They've diversified a good deal, but without this huge construction sector working constantly I wonder what those guys will do.

Oh wait.....they are now just working all over Africa/Eurasia...Interesting move chinks.

Their economy is very far from communism at this point. Which is literally the only reason they've been so successful over the past few decades. Yet they still cling to their one party "communist" leadership. I agree with you that I think the system will collapse at some point though. They have enough of their population that have grown fat off the fruits of capitalism that they won't stand for the inevitable blow back once the "communist party" throws back at them some draconian laws that seem retarded even to their slanted eyes.

https://www.google.ca/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/environment/2017/jan/06/china-cementing-global-dominance-of-renewable-energy-and-technology

China is cementing its global dominance of renewable energyand supporting technologies, aggressively investing in them both at home and around the globe, leaving countries including the US, UK and Australia at risk of missing the growing market.

A report by the Institute forEnergyEconomics and Financial Analysis (Ieefa) found China’s dominance in renewables is rapidly spreading overseas, with the country accelerating its foreign investment in renewable energy and supporting technologies.

Analysing Chinese foreign investments over US$1bn, Ieefa found 13 in 2016, worth a combined $32bn. That represented a 60% jump over similar investments in 2015.

Better catch up!

Except the Chinese are smarter than that, this is their chance to take the world stage as an alternative super power to America. With the heavy investing they are doing in Africa and south east Asia the Chinese are a going to be a force to be reckoned with if we step out. They know this and thats why they're investing heavily into 'green' energy. I don't want to live in a world were Russia and China have more influence than what they a relegated to right now.

Tbh, if he followed it with a comprehensive environmental plan that tackled the issue head on and then followed up on itl it'd probably be enough for me to vote for him 4 years later. It'd be a guilty conscience vote, but it'd be enough.

No Trump never stopped being an environmentalist.Everyone was an environmentalist back in the day. The environmentalist movement just turned into green weenie psychos

I couldn't be more happy with my vote at this point. One of my main reasons for voting for trump was that he said he would reduce all this pseudoscience climate bullshit from our shackles.

Someone's probably already said it in the thread, but I'm not gonna read the whole thing. This is exactly the problem with the "I FUCKING LOVE SCIENCE" crowd. Trump accurately quotes the science from the research, but has a different opinion about the application of that data, a political question. The media takes that difference of political opinions, and uses it to say that Trump is wrong about the science. Science suffers for it.
>>
>>128224740
what pseudoscience are you talking about?
Climate change is real the weather has been getting more whacked out every year. The pollution we make gives out greenhouses. Whether we have anything to do with it isn't up to debate, how much we influence it can be debated.
My only concern is why wouldn't you want to move to cleaner sources of energy that keep the environment intact and clean. Do you want this country to look like India? You ever seen pictures of American in the 70's and 80's looking like a wasteland with trash everywhere? Is that the shit you want?

What I'm implying is reducing human impact on climate change isn't a top down approach, you can't just expect a single leader setting an example is going to cascade into the minds of everyone. I mean you can, but is that going to stop you from driving your car?
>>
>>128227462
But fracking is one of the biggest reasons we've reduced CO2 emissions. The rate of return on making 90% of our energy infrastructure (coal, oil, natural gas) cleaner is much greater than investing in technology that isn't ready yet like solar and wind.

I never claimed global warming but why would the poles be melting if it hasn't been getting warmer in those regions?

Per capita isn't a good metric, since most emissions are driven by economic output (i.e. how efficiently are we producing things at the price of emissions). By GDP we're doing better than any other industrial nation, and unlike most we're actually moving in the right direction.

As you've seen from the reaction, the whole country is ready and raring to do better.

It would have been vintage, bombastic Trump. And he does have to come a scientifically-informed position on the issue at some point.
