I don't know anything about the paris agreement. What I do know is that by not agreeing to join it doesn't mean Trump doesn't care or is ignoring it. We as a country are perfecctly capable of making changes to help with climate change without having to join other countries in doing it.

As far as if it's real or not it's clearly real. The temp has fluctuated forever on this planet. At one point in time North America was covered in mile high sheets of ice all of it. We just figured out that the human race is like 12,000 years older than we originally had thought. We are learning so much it's weird to me the people who think we know everything now and we are super smart.

As for the people saying we shouldn't even risk it? Well it's easy to say that maybe where  you live. I live in Houston a large part of our economy depends on oil. When the oil industry is doing bad it effects a lot of other industries as well in and around Houston. When your seeing people lose their jobs, their homes and everything else it's not as easy to say F those people we need to prepare for a situation we know very little about.

Yes, F those people. Sorry but a tiny subset of the population of the world has no right to imperil the entire planet's future because they can't find work somewhere else or don't want to. 

That is not their right. They have had plenty of warning and lead time here to find numerous different industries to work in. 

Yes but don't be surprised when those same people say F you and your predicitions that we don't even know are true or not. No one knows how much we affect climate change. Like I said at one point NA was covered in mile high ice. Al Gore has already proven to use this fear of climate change to make tons of money and even lied. We have already seen scientist will lie for money it happened with the sugar industry. They did a study where they had 7 different groups of scientist verify another teams work. They were told beforehand that there were 7 errors in the study. Not 1 group from the study found all the errors. The most found was 5 from 1 group. 

We need to stop with this idea that scientist are infalliable. I guess I can understand why people feel that way but it wasn't until I started listening to podcast with other scientist that I realized there not as perfect as we like to think they are and make mistakes all the time.
