A few facts:

-China and India produces 75% of the worlds pollution yet they don't have to do anything for the next 13 years. In fact China has came out and said they're going to double their amount of coal plants.

-By funneling 3 trillion dollars of US taxpayers money into poorer nations to invest in green energy this is expected to reduce temperatures by 2/10's of 1 degree by 2100. 2/10's of 1 degree? That ain't shit.

-The polar icecaps have actually growing for the past 4 years.

-If you study data you'll see that temperatures have been rising and falling for over 650,000 years. In fact we're about due for another ice age.

If pollution equals CO2 emissions then that's a big ass lie.

Let's say China remains constant at 30%, it would be illogical to assume that India accounts for 45% of the world's pollution in 2017 despite only accounting for 7% in 2014.

Naw C02 levels and pollution are two different things.

Thirteen of the top 20 most polluted cities in the world, according a World Health Organization (WHO) report from 2013, are in India. This has led to fears for the health of children living in Asia’s third largest economy.

China is cleaning it's act up but they're still up there and like I said in 2012 they had over a million people die from air pollution just in that year. That's a tragedy, that's like the whole city of Dallas just peacing out over the course of a year. But these cats don't have to be accountable for any of that but we have to come out of our pockets? Despite us having lover waste and C02 emissions than them?

China and India ridiculous amounts of pollution is well documented. In China they estimate over 1.6 million deaths a year are caused by air pollution; In India 1.3 million. Yet know one is putting China and India's feet to the fire. They get to max out till 2030.

Sea ice surrounding Antarctica reached a new record high extent this year, covering more of the southern oceans than it has since scientists began a long-term satellite record to map sea ice extent in the late 1970s. The upward trend in the Antarctic, however, is only about a third of the magnitude of the rapid loss of sea ice in the Arctic Ocean.

The new Antarctic sea ice record reflects the diversity and complexity of Earth’s environments, said NASA researchers. Claire Parkinson, a senior scientist at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center, has referred to changes in sea ice coverage as a microcosm of global climate change. Just as the temperatures in some regions of the planet are colder than average, even in our warming world, Antarctic sea ice has been increasing and bucking the overall trend of ice loss.

More later.

You're sending people off. You cite an article from 2014 when in March 2017 Nasa released this:

"Arctic sea ice appears to have reached on March 7 a record low wintertime maximum extent, according to scientists at NASA and the NASA-supported National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) in Boulder, Colorado. And on the opposite side of the planet, on March 3 sea ice around Antarctica hit its lowest extent ever recorded by satellites at the end of summer in the Southern Hemisphere, a surprising turn of events after decades of moderate sea ice expansion."

"On Feb. 13, the combined Arctic and Antarctic sea ice numbers were at their lowest point since satellites began to continuously measure sea ice in 1979. Total polar sea ice covered 6.26 million square miles (16.21 million square kilometers), which is 790,000 square miles (2 million square kilometers) less than the average global minimum extent for 1981-2010 – the equivalent of having lost a chunk of sea ice larger than Mexico."

Moreover, the data is not conflicting, but you're cherry picking and hoping people won't read for themselves or you haven't done the research yourself. Stop that fam!

I saw on the news the other nations are gonna bypass D.C., and deal wit the state's and the governors directly on this.

The accord did nothing, its all political grandstanding. Basically every other country wanted the US to pay around $3 trillion out to them, and we said nope. None of them want to do real changes because then they would have to stifle their industry growth and GDP.

Good. The more cities and states that cooperate with the world on climate change, the better.

SMH at Trump allowing more companies to dump toxic waste in water and soil, I feel bad for those with children near chemical plants.
