António Guterres says treaty will endure but urges US to remain amid reports of Republican plan to withdraw from the climate negotiating framework entirely
The world needs the US to remain in the international climate process to avoid a “crippled” Paris agreement, the UN secretary general has warned, amid fears that Donald Trump would take the country out of the accord for a second time.
António Guterres said the landmark 2015 agreement to limit global heating would endure if the US withdrew once again, but compared the prospective departure to losing a limb or organ.
“The Paris agreement can survive, but people sometimes can lose important organs or lose the legs and survive. But we don’t want a crippled Paris agreement. We want a real Paris agreement,” the UN secretary general said.
If the Republican candidate wins, his administration could withdraw the US from the UN climate negotiating framework entirely, according to reports. If he does so, it could require Senate approval for the US to rejoin.
First of all, that doesn’t prove that Trump won because of that.
Secondly, gloating about a fascist getting into office because it showed I was wrong does not make you a good person.
Hopefully there won’t be people like you in Britain. Enjoy seeing your fellow citizens get marched into concentration camps and take solace that you got to be happy about someone being wrong on the internet.
I never claimed to be a good person. That clearly isn’t important anymore.
Ew, Britain. Almost as disgusting as america.
“Almost as disgusting” as the country where the incoming president is going to march my queer daughter into a conversion therapy camp?
Is that really what you’re going to go with? Because I want to make sure that’s what you are claiming right now.
You can do better than that…
If you really want to put words in my mouth, why not try: “so you want to kill my daughter?!”
Please answer the question. Is that or is that not what you are claiming? It is a yes/no question. Unless you are a troll, the thing I am now trying to determine.
porque no los dos?
No.
Oh, so you are a troll? Okay. See ya then.
