First of all. China isn't participating. They have agreed to support it at least for now. Whatever that means. Russia is playing politics with it. India is building coal burning plants as fast as possible.

The USA is not going to throw it's economic strength down the toilet until we can be assured everybody is playing by the same rules. That will never happen.

I know reality sucks, but the treaty is dead in the water and will be forever. Even if it was signed by all, China, Russia, India, the US will not implement it.

We should stop kidding ourselves. There is a better way to do this.
