Following President Trump’s decision to withdraw from the Paris Climate Accord, a number of other nations have quietly begun ignoring the Paris energy goals, according to a new report out of Canada.
According to Lawrence Solomon of Energy Probe, a Toronto-based environmental organization, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is one of the only signers of the Paris agreement who is actually abiding by the exacting demands of the accord.
Meanwhile, Solomon notes in an essay in Friday’s Financial Post, “most signatories are ignoring, if not altogether abandoning Paris commitments, undoubtedly because voters in large part put no stock in scary global warming scenarios.”
“Trudeau now stands almost alone in sincere support of Paris,” Solomon writes. “The populist backlash — a revulsion at top-down governments laden with jet-setting politicians landing in posh places to preach restraint to the masses — has swept America with Trump’s election, Great Britain with Brexit, much of Europe, and Australia.”

These commitments were contingent on the United States subsidizing everyone's losses. Since we're not footing the bill anymore, they can't afford to meet their energy reduction goals.
ROTFL!!! People are finally figuring out they’ve been scammed by the Algore crowd.
do I really have to say it???
That’s inconceivable!

Mr. Solomon isn't going to get many cocktail party invitations. This is fantastic.
welcome...
And the signatories have been doing this for years!
The signatories of the 1992 Kyoto climate treaty made a big deal about signing it, did little to nothing to implement it. Of course tried to shame the US about not signing it.
The goal of all these treaties is to cripple the US economy, socialist states start out crippled. Getting the US to do this nonsense levels the economic playing field for them.
As far as I know, the only part of the Paris Accord any but a few Euro-idiots actually followed was to take our money. So they don’t actually have to stop doing anything, since they never really started.
Yougottabekiddingme!
NOBODY ELSE ever intended to go along with this agreement!
It was STRICTLY designed to bash the US economy with a stick and wreck it for good.
This is NOT CHANGE by any other country.
Winning!
Is that true?
Yeah what is this? An environmentalist telling the truth?
Despite not ratifying kyoto, we were the ONLY nation that actually achieved the targets set in the agreement.
Actually, that would have been the case even if the United States had stayed, unconstitutionally, in. The accord did not target the chief offenders; it preferred the chief moneybag.
The accord like foreign aid is a sneaky way to funnel money to cronies.
