Eight years ago, Barack Obama was absolutely certain he had saved the planet.
I am absolutely certain that generations from now, we will be able to look back and tell our children that … this was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal.
- Barack Obama June 3, 2008
Today, he is less certain. I would consider his use of the world “potential” as being in the 5-20% confidence range.
Dr. James Hansen puts the certainty in the 0% confidence range.
All that the deal does is give China the formal go-ahead to continue increasing their CO2 emissions at a rate of about one new coal fired power plant every 10 days. Donald Trump was absolutely correct when he said global warming is a scam created for the Chinese.
