Nearly 200 nations agreed around midnight on Friday to work out the rules for a landmark 2015 global deal to tackle climate change within two years in a new sign of international support for a pact opposed by U.S. President-elect Donald Trump.
At the end of two-week talks on global warming in Marrakesh, which were extended an extra day, many nations appealed to Trump, who has called climate change a hoax, to reconsider his threat to tear up the Paris Agreement for cutting greenhouse gas emissions.
Showing determination to keep the Paris Agreement on track, the conference agreed to work out a rule book at the latest by December 2018.
A rule book is needed because the Paris Agreement left many details vague, such as how countries will report and monitor their national pledges to curb greenhouse gas emissions.
Two years may sounds like a long time, but it took four to work out detailed rules for the 1997 Kyoto Protocol, the Paris Agreement's predecessor, which obliged only developed countries to cut their emissions. Paris requires commitments by all.
The final text also urged rich nations to keep building towards a goal of providing $100 billion a year in climate finance for developing countries by 2020.

That's funny right there, I don't care who you are.
The greatest fear, worldwide, is that the US may begin to act unilaterally and only in its best interests.
They can stick it. We aren’t the world’s piggy bank anymore.
Takers trying to fleece the Makers.
Dump it.
a fun inconvenient truth the left doesn’t want the public to be aware of:
The left owudl have use beleive there is a thick sheet of plastic surrounding the earth preventing all the heat that rises fro mthe planet from escaping- and bouncing all that heat right back at us
Bzzzzt-
CO2 only absorbs approx 8% of the heat leavign earth- and only 1% of the heat that leaves the earth is IR- (Nasa claims 40+% but there is no consensus- most apparently claim 1%)
The rest of the 99% being conduction, convection and evaporation
Bottom line? Very Very little heat is even captured by CO2- and even less is actually back radiated ‘in the right direction’ to make it’s way back to earth to ‘warm the globe’
Bonus inconvenient truth- man’s CO2 production comprises just 0.00136% of the earth’s atmosphere- far far far too little to capable of capturing, holding, then back radiating enough heat ot cause global climate change- (The atmosphere is comprised of just 0.04% CO2 - man is responsible for just 3.4% of that or so- 3.4% of 0.04% = 0.00136%)
The jig is almost up on AGW. Praise the Lord. Thank you President Trump!
“In taking on lawmakers pushing for a cap-and-trade plan to deal with emissions, Steward tells Whispers that he’s worried that the legislation will result in huge and unneeded taxes. Worse, if CO2 levels are cut, he warns, food production will slow because plants grown at higher CO2 levels make larger fruit and vegetables and also use less water. He also said that higher CO2 levels are not harmful to humans. As an example, he said that Earth’s atmosphere currently has about 338 parts per million of CO2 and that in Navy subs, the danger level for carbon dioxide isn’t reached until the air has 8,000 parts per million of CO2.”
“Fact: Since 1999, multiple technical, peer reviewed articles have been available that demonstrate exactly the opposite conclusion. CO2 changes lagged temperature changes as temperature increased or decreased. Temperature changed and then, several hundred years later, CO2 levels changed. Since a cause does not follow an effect, this indicates that CO2 is not a primary driver of climate change.”

...If you like the climate rules, you can keep the climate rules...Ha Ha
Thank you for the “Facts.”
well they are facts- Vostok icecore samples show that CO2 lags temperature changes by 800 or more years- CO2 can’t therefore be the cause of temperature changes- That would be like saying a man gains 500 lbs- and years later tried ice cream for the first time in wish life, and blames his previous weight gain on the ice cream- Global warming advocates try to poo poo the core results by claiming that climate change ‘isn’t dependent on ice core samples’ basically- Reading through advocate sites that’s about the basic conclusion one comes to- They only seem to like correlation when it agrees with their bias-
They can make all the plans or rules they want but not a dime from US.
I totally agree with you and have debunked the global warming propaganda as nothing but another way to tax Americans to redistribute our wealth to the Marxists. Keep on posting the facts so that those who still swallow the propaganda just might someday see the light.
