(GHG) emissions are increasing worldwide because humanity is using more and more coal, oil, and natural gas. Yes, several Western nations are reducing their fossil fuel consumption. But it is increasing in developing nations, particularly China and India, now the world’s most populous nation. And given that China, which has no requirement under the Paris Agreement to ever reduce emissions, emits twice that of the US, any emission reductions we make are quickly made up for in developing countries.
In this, part two of my three-part series about the climate policy myths that dominate the climate debate, I will explain why we should simply withdraw from the Paris Agreement as it is impeding our growth for no environmental benefit.
