    I think Biden should rejoin the accords and put AOC in charge of our roll in it.
    Since it's non binding it would keep her busy saving the world and staying out of US politics.
    Whatca think?

    Why? It's a completely idiotic agreement with no enforcement that would negatively effect the US while doing absolutely nothing to curtail the imaginary CO2 problem anyway.

    Do you think being Chief Climate non-binary will enhance AOC's resume for her future Presidential race?

    Well OF COURSE rejoining that scam will be a priority cuz' it's a beautiful scam! Big flowery bureaucrat-crat speak to dazzle the goobers, totally toothless in enforcement, AND funnels tons of money to the Elites to subsidize their two-faced carbon-spewing lifestyles while they preach austerity to the peasants! Grifting on a global scale, what's not to like?

    The US should definitely re-join the Paris climate accord.
    While you're at it you can purge the EPA of anyone from the fossil fuel industry.

    Why? It accomplishes nothing except to send 2 trillion of taxpayer money to other countries.

    A bunch of rich politicians literally creating more climate change by traveling and having massive galas, creating lots of CO2 and trash. So smart they are.

    I was about to inform you that there is quite of bit of enforcement mechanisms in the Paris Accord. But then, after reading the last line I saw that your post was simply to let us know that you're a science denier.

    Like what?

    Nobody is bound to anything, it's so politicians can pat themselves on the back without actually doing anything.

    We would need to see what AOC could come up with, wouldn't we?

    Probably.
    But think about it. Xi thought Trump was an A hole, what would he think about AOC.

    He would love her since she would blame all climate change on America and only her rules would apply to us.

    Of course they are bound. All countries that receive aid under the Paris Agreement are required to reduce their emissions.

    No idea what you're talking about.

    No = not any
    More = additional
    Money = medium of exchange

    That is just as much a meaningless statement as "No more money.:"
