Paris Agreement Ten Years Later: ‘Failed’

At the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP21) on Dec. 12, 2015, 195 parties signed the Paris Agreement, vowing to cut their emissions in an effort to stave off global warming.
Nonetheless, global emissions have increased over the last 10 years, according to recent data from the European Commission’s Emissions Database for Global Atmospheric Research (EDGAR). Though the European Union led the world in lowering emissions, they have still hit a record high, according to EDGAR.
President Donald Trump exited the Paris Agreement through a day-one executive order. Some energy experts told the Daily Caller News Foundation the Paris Agreement was “unconstitutional” and celebrated Trump’s move to decouple from the UN’s climate agenda.
“Today marks the 10th anniversary of the adoption of the Paris Climate Accord. Despite the world spending $10 trillion dollars trying to implement the agreement over the past 10 years, emissions have increased 12% while the weather and climate remained the same,” Steve Milloy, senior fellow at the Energy and Environment Legal Institute, told the DCNF. “More than just waste, fraud and abuse, the agreement was an unconstitutional effort by the Obama administration to saddle Americans with a UN climate treaty without the required Senate ratification. In the US, efforts to implement the Paris agreement have pointlessly raised energy prices, fueled inflation and weakened national security by making the energy grid dependent on Communist China-made wind, solar and battery equipment. President Trump is to be commended for pulling the U.S. out of the Paris treaty and for taking steps to terminate its offspring known as the Green New Scam.”
