This means the worlds 3 out of the top 4 economy's minus the USA have pledge to be carbon neutral.

Hope the USA is next!

I too will pledge this by year 2050. Hit me up in 30 years.  TBH, I'm gonna slack until 2049 and in 1 year then make a 100% change.

But you’re gonna tax everyone else during those 29 years to make up for your slack.

Ironically we are carbon based life and we exhale about 2 pounds of CO2 a day.

What? 2050? I will absolutely be dead and buried long before that date.
More importantly, 2050 will be much too late to save our planet.
According to some of the most prominent climate change experts we only have 11 years left before its too late.
Greta T., Beto, and AOC said so.

The Paris CC Accord was structured so the wealthiest countries paid in the most money, and the least wealthy countries were given that money to help them improve their economies so they can afford to adopt low carbon emission technologies.

There was no requirement for the countries taking out of the "fund" to meet any CO2 production goals.  The incentives, subsidies, tax credits, whatever you call them were to improve the ECONOMIES of these countries.

It's international welfare.  And if you think the money being paid in is going to do anything other than make the leaders of the countries taking the money richer while nothing improves in their national economies, you haven't been alive for longer than, say,, 20+ years?

How is ANY country going to pay into the fund now that the pandemic has all but destroyed the economic growth each hoped to achieve for at least 2-3 years?  We're going to be working hard just to get back even.  When you lose 50% of your GDP growth, you then have to double what's left to break even in addition to maintaining the growth you would have had anyway.  Very difficult to do.

At what cost?

Can you put a price on survival?  If we never do anything ever oceans will rise, millions will die and if there is ever change to the air and ocean currents it will be a disaster.  But hey everyone will have a little more in their pockets for a nice funeral.

Yes, I can.  If I have to spend my wealth, my children's wealth and their children's wealth so another country can reduce their carbon emissions by 10%, I consider that to be too high a cost.

Climate Change Scammers have yet to scientifically show that manmade carbon contributes X percentage of the total.  If we only contribute 10-15%, then nothing we do will stop the process.

Also, the Climate Change, Global Warming, Global Cooling models have been wrong for 50 years.  It hasn't gotten any better in the past 10 years.  If all of their models are wrong, is it  really "Science" you are believing in?  Or is it, "Better safe that sorry" marketing hype?

BTW, there are already other Climate Change threads on here.  Nothing has changed, including your doom and gloom "The sky is falling" fear mongering.

Go read them before going down this worn out rabbit hole.

No sense in regurgitating it all for just another lap around the track.

I read that those wind turbines take up a huge amount of oil to stay lubricated.  So oil still needed.
