The world knows the United States doesn’t get calls from the Paris Climate Accord members anymore. Trump didn’t want to commit to reducing carbon emissions. Trump’s a sneaky investor. If he can protect his assets by doing crazy stuff while he’s president, he’ll do it, according to a Washington Post opinion article. The full list of Trump’s investments is a guarded secret. But the coal miners, gas, and oil workers want to know if Trump’s serious. What better way to tell them he’s serious? Dropping out of the Paris Climate Accord is a move only a losing gambler would take, according to the Democrats. That ignorant decision will come back and bite Trump where it hurts, according to French President Macron.
There’s a strong world alliance behind the Paris Climate Accord. The new conservative president of Brazil wants to leave the Accord just like Trump did. In fact, some Brazilian news reports call him “The Tropical Trump.” The serious members want a make a difference so they moved on from the Trump’s slap-in-the-face. The World Bank funds action on climate control. World Bank President Jim Yong Kim announced the bank will fund action on climate change from 2021 to 2025 with $200 billion.
Paris Climate Accord members are in Poland to work out a comprehensive plan for the Accord. The plan will bind countries to slow down the rate of global warming. Even Sir David Attenborough is in Paris. The naturalist spoke at the opening ceremony and he said climate change is public enemy number. It’s the greatest threat in thousands of years. Attenborough said much of the natural world won’t exist in 2099. He also said civilizations around the world will disappear. United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres told the group that climate change is a matter of life and death in some countries right now.
According to Mr. Kim, the World Bank spent more than $20.5 billion on climate change issues in 2018. That was the target amount the Work Bank promised at the first Paris Climate Accord meeting in 2015. But at this meeting, the members said that amount won’t work in 2019.
It safe to say Trump is a climate change naysayer. A recent government report confirmed what the Accord members tried to tell Trump about humanity’s influence on the climate, in 2017. But he’s not listening to his own scientists either. Some Washington insiders say Trump gets the weather confused with the climate.
