Or maybe we're ravenous memers that could turn anything into a meme. I bet that if a nuclear war happened, there would be memes being made about it as the bombs dropped.

Those were the nuclear launch codes. Trump tweeted them out for the lolz.

Tweeted too early if that was the case.

I keep hearing about the Paris thing but I have no idea what's going on besides people are pissed about it. Can someone put it in Layman's terms ?

The signing members agreed to lower emissions by, (I forgot might have been 20%). For China and India and Pakistan that would be easy and relatively inexpensive. For the US which already has low emission standard it would have been prohibitively expensive and would have required huge subsidies and cost us many jobs. We are no longer taking part. We will continue with our relatively (strange but) stringent standards.

Yeah, but it helps to prevent climate change and losing our coastlines.

Changing the standards in North America and Europe will have far less effect than changing the standards in Asia, South America and Africa.

Seriously though it was almost nothing. We were to cut emissions by 20% in next 25 years and China's emissions were to PEAK in 2030. China and India had to do almost nothing while we funded not only half the world's improvements but our own as well. We would seriously have to end some industry in the us and allow those factories to be built in other nations and simply relocate the pollution. That is nothing but our money being wasted to give the perception of improvement.

This is a serious question: do you guys on this website understand that every time there is a US emissions regulation increase it drives the prices of us goods and services way up? It costs a lot of money to produce things that meet strict emissions. Consider how that would effect the US economy when much of the rest of the world is allowed to function with much lower standards (cheaper).
