Good.

An agreement without actual plans for execution and punishment for not complying is worthless anyway.

The agreement is only worth the paper its written on. The climate doesn't give a shit where the pollution is done. Making pollution regionalised is the dumbest thing ever.

Want to pollute to get your cheap low quality crap? Just move the factory overseas. Now you can extract that from your emission.

He left it to kill it and any climate action, not to get a new one. Shut the fuck up

So the agreement is shit. But its doesnt matter?

High IQ move to suggest no action is the best action.

It's not enough, but better than nothing. The minimum one could do. And now he will neither follow this or any other agreement against climate change.
