Of course if you say "Hey, sign your name here and you get hundreds of millions of dollars, with no repercussions or measurements to actually force you to spend it on what we want you to spend it on" you're going to get a ton of countries to join.

I've still yet to see from anyone in this thread why the US can't just pull out, cut their emissions anyway, and also keep their money.

They can pull out.

They can cut emissions anyway.

The can keep "their" money.

But the idea behind the Accord was years of negotiating to get the majority of the entire world to work together.  And for the US to be a leader in helping the lesser nations.

But small minded people only care about money, and keeping it, so the POTUS pulled out.

A man who not only doesn't understand anything but refuses to learn about it made the decision.  Well, after contacting FOX to make sure he'd get good press from it.

I mean I get y'all wanna save a buck...got up that military budget...but to not see that the vast majority of the leaders in the world, plus the majority of US citizens and companies all backed the accord is just blind partisanship and loyalty to the "R" next to the President's name (for now).
