The USA and European Union now only account for 24% of the world's CO2 emissions. And CO2 emissions continue to shrink in these countries due to strong environmental regulations. On the other hand, CO2 emissions in many of the countries responsible for the vast bulk (76%) of CO2 emissions are rapidly increasing, often even accelerating. Evolution of CO2 emissions by country comparing 1990, 2005 and 2017: The emissions "targets" of the Paris Agreement for each nation are shrouded in complexity and secrecy. First I went to FactCheck.org's article Trump on the Paris Agreement. As usual, the article is a whitewash of the globalist narrative but it refers to the following UN sources: Annex I countries and Non Annex I countries. So I clicked on these documents to try to discover the elusive emissions "targets". ACCESS DENIED. I wonder how FactCheck.org obtained access to their cited sources.... I finally found the emissions "targets" by country from this web page: www.carbonbrief.org. Amazingly nations don't have targets for the Paris Agreement, they made pledges. And the pledges don't follow any standard format. So many countries used colorful language to hide increases. Examples:
Transparency does not seem to be a priority for the "international community". It is complicated to translate these vague pledges into concrete, easy to understand targets but below are rough estimations for some of the major nations and the EU: In short, relative to the 2017 baseline:
Based on the Paris Agreement, let us do some simple math to make a rough calculation of the total global CO2 emissions in 2030 compared to 2017 (year after signature of the agreement):
Based on this rough calculation:
The usual response from proponents of the Paris Agreement is that the CO2 emissions PER CAPITA are what is important and what will reduce globally by draconian cuts in CO2 emissions in the Western world. But the planet does not care about per capita! Greenhouse effect of CO2 is not reduced just because each of the 7.5+ billion people is responsible for less CO2 emissions on average. If there is really a climate emergency (the dominant narrative of the media and politicians globally), how will a GLOBAL INCREASE of 6.4% in annual CO2 emissions by 2030 help stop this emergency? This is more concrete factual evidence that climate alarmism is really a globalist WEALTH REDISTRIBUTION scheme. In addition, the BBC reported that "the Paris agreement requires rich nations to maintain a $100 BILLION a year funding pledge beyond 2020, and to use that figure as a "floor" for further support agreed by 2025." The hidden objective is socialism on a global scale: make the people of Western nations poorer and the people of the rest of the world richer. I am not going to debate the morality or economic consequences of global socialism in this article. But what is very upsetting is that elected politicians of Western nations (with the exception of President Donald Trump) refuse to be honest with the populations of those nations that their children and grandchildren will be far less prosperous if this Paris Agreement wealth redistribution scheme is implemented. THAT is highly immoral and undemocratic! Sources:
