Those responsible for "state policy" cannot sign international agreements, or withdraw from them. They cannot lead the world in a fight in which the whole world needs to be united. "State policy" manages local issues, which is Trump's own response as a climate change denier. I didn't think you were. Best you read some of my posts then me old fruit cake. Temperature change is really what it is.

I don't think that's fair. The US is held to a different standard to other nations and has more to lose. The accords are also political devices. As I've said in the past....I don't personally want to easily swap American hegemony for a Chinese one.

The same could be said of any modern politician, as you well know. You attack Trump because he is an easy target. No it cannot be said of every modern politician. There are many who you would never associate with such selfishness. It's a very weak excuse anyway to suggest that just because others might it's OK for someone else to, especially when that someone is the POTUS. The POTUS ought to demonstrate the highest ethical standards so that the USA, and the free world, are held in the highest regard and not in the slime at the bottom of the barrel. Trump is on another level to anything I have ever witnessed in my lifetime and hope to never see again.

I'm sure if he has done bad and is as bad it would be all over the press. Left and right. I just see the left spending 47 months trying to get over losing to fresher. Not one new policy to even make it worth a thought. Very strange. Oh apart from sting the wealthy to pay the poor so they can stay down and vote democrat. Very novel.

However, there is now sufficient consensus among the world's experts, without there emerging any convincing counter-arguments, for us to be pretty sure, on the balance of probabilities, that man-made climate change is real. Certainly, enough for us to make changes to the way we live. Better to prepare for something that is expected than to ignore it in the hope it might be wrong. Man-made climate change exists outside of any natural variations, which have affected the world from time to time. I used to know one of the world's leading experts in this field, whose integrity was beyond reproach. She had no doubt whatsoever that it was real, and urgent, and this was 20 years ago. We know even more now. So I have no idea what you mean by attributing what's happening just to "temperature change". It's a meaningless term.

You imply Trump might be guilty of lying with no evidence whatever but he is the one with the ethics problem? You then suggest it's not OK to compare him with others for doing something there is no proof he has actually done in the first place. You live in your own world of one eyed illogic.

Sufficient consensus isnt proof and if climate change isnt about the earths temperature what is it about. What is the co2 level in the atmosphere?

Climate change is occurring constantly, not 'from time to time'. Very few scientist will break ranks these days because it will cost them their reputation and money but the bigger picture must be recognised to put all this into perspective. We can reduce carbon emissions and all the rest but let's not kid ourselves. Edited by Hrolf The Ganger (02 Oct 2020 6.07pm)

Presumably you still fly to the Philippines to visit family. All do not help climate change, so what are you doing?
