    Yes, German history is connected to the history of the Third Reich, good observation. So? Some people claim it's some kind of stigma but these are hopelessly uneducated simpletons who think German history started in '33 and ended in '45. The oscar for arrogance in combination with sheer ignorance goes to the US (one just has to read this board).

    I don't think that you appreciate the impossible situation that Bangladesh is in, and will remain in until disaster runs it's course.

    The United States is gonna be fine though. Lucky us.

    It is the only solution that we're capable of choosing at this moment.

    It's not one that we're going to choose. I'm not here to moralize, but to predict. 99% of the future is already decided.

    You mean the exact same scientists who HOWLED one decade that it was global cooling and then the next that it was global warming and then finally selected the catch all term Climate Change so that they couldn't possibly be wrong? Those same . . . scientists?

    We have 2500 years history. Nazis are 12 years of that. You have no history nor culture. Thats the difference.

    Sounds... "absolute" to me...

    You're like the dudes with the shopping carts hanging up signs everywhere warning them, "the end is near"

    Yup, those scientists definitely believed in global cooling in unison!

    If you say something that ridiculously stupid, you should at least fake a stroke. That would partly explain this superficial idiocy anyway.

    Right.
    First I've never been to Germany, never met Germans, then I am a leftist.
    You seem to know much about me, don't you Mr. Sobo? Better than me, I suppose?

    Anyway, let cut that crap and get back to topic. Peace? :handshake:

    You keep touting the voluntary aspect so why the deal in the first place? Let every country do what they think is appropriate for them all on their own. If the deal us as voluntary as you imply it's worthless anyway.

    If you knew any thing about the term 'global warming' and what it meant, you wouldn't look nearly as dumb when you posted about the subject.

    Because the fact that we got every country in the world to at least sign something together to resolve to fix this problem is just an amazing accomplishment. We can then later build on that to do something more substantial.

    Ahhh so it's the first step in mandatory requirements. That makes sense.

    It was an analogy genius. I keep hearing this argument that since nature warmed the planet before that it can't be humans now. Its just so irrelevent.

    What point? That Americans use a crazy amount of CO2 compared to the rest of the world and have the most room for improvement?

    But the step is voluntary and signing the Paris Agreement doesn't force you to sign anything else. And signing anything more later on and actually following those goals is completely voluntary. You haven't hear of a country getting punished because they weren't following their CO2 reduction goals.

    So it's all smoke and mirrors, a Seinfeld agreement. An agreement about nothing. Funny how you say it's all voluntary but it's supporters are saying Trump can't voluntarily back out of it any time soon.

    "The US's plan, which the Obama administration submitted in March 2015, set the goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 26% to 28% by 2025. The baseline level this reduction is measured against is 2005, when the US emitted 6,132 million metric tons of carbon dioxide.

    Because of the way the agreement was designed, it will take years for the US to fully exit it. According to its rules, the earliest Trump could give written notice of the US's withdrawal would be November 2019, and the US wouldn't officially exit it until November 4, 2020 — the day after the next presidential election."

    We steam with a 40 billion € budget surplus, no debt and constant economic boom.

    What do we right that you make wrong?
