So you don't  think spending  trillions  to lower it by 0.2  is good? Strange....

Paris is a bad and stupid deal because there are no immediately effective restrictions for China and India which means that trillions are spent to move millions of western high environmental standard mining related jobs there without reducing anything. And it would create a mining based monopoly in their favor.

If we really want to try to change our climate, and the UN climate group says that a serious prediction of climate change is impossible due to it's complexity, we would need much more drastic measures involving India and China which are by far the top polluters.
Drastic measures like abandoning all fossil-fuel-driven cars and planes which does not seem possible or practical and the results are still unknown. And the next ice age is coming anyway or we end up like mars. The future of the climate most likely out of our control.

Actually its the US and China which are the top polluters and when you look at the numbers, the US emitted almost twice as much as China and 8 times as much as India per capita.  This means based on the total amount of people within each nation the US emites 16.07 tons while China is at 7.73 and India is 1.87.  China does emmit the most CO2 but then again its population is 1.4 billion while the US is 325 and India is 1.3.

What this really mean is that when someone throws out numbers, they only use the numbers that make them look good.  During Trump speach he only used numbers to make it seems like the US isn't the worlds top polluter based on total output ignoring of course the fact that based on population the US is twice as bad as its nearest nation even when that nation has 3 times the population.

Anyway the rest of your opinion reads like, "Hey lets do nothing because its too late so burn the world and kill the future".
