Paris Climate Agreement enters force today

The 2015 United Nations Climate Change Agreement enters into force today. 195 states signed the agreement on climate change in December 2015.

Declaration without obligation

The Paris Agreement is connected to the United Nations’ Framework Convention on Climate Change and is aimed at the regulation of measures to reduce carbon dioxide in the atmosphere by 2020. It was prepared during the Climate Change Conference in Paris on December 12th, 2015 and agreed upon by consensus. Earlier, at the climate summit in Copenhagen in 2009, participating countries could not agree on the issue of emissions.

The predecessor of the Paris Agreement is considered to be the Kyoto Protocol.

The Treaty will not provide for any sanctions or actions if targets are not met. Moreover, there is no obligation to reduce carbon dioxide emissions in the international law.

Globalist manipulations

Initial attempts by some countries to limit carbon dioxide emissions have been criticized by developing countries. Bolivia’s position seems just, as the country has pointed to the fact of serious abuse of the environment by the developed capitalist countries in the previous century. According to the Bolivian leadership, some countries of the "First World" now simply want to limit the further technological development of other powers (formerly, the initiators of the agreement wanted to oblige developing countries to pay quotas for carbon dioxide emissions).

Secularist nonsense

The agreement reflects a secular way of thinking, since from the position of any religion, carbon dioxide emissions are of no importance and all global processes take place according to the Creator's plan.

Besides, the role of transnational corporations remains unclear. Firstly, since the 1990’s, many companies have moved their production (especially unhealthy industries) to the countries of Asia and Latin America.

Secondly, if in debates on the future of the internet, globalists promote the concept of multilateralism (i.e. roles and responsibilities both between companies and between countries), then such zeal is nowhere to be found in the case of environmental liability. However, to oblige corporations to implement "green" equipment and to pay necessary compensation out of their super profits seems really logical.
