I see from the story that the sanctimonious Germans and French are up 0.2 % and 0.1 % respectively. In fact, while the signatories of the Paris agreement are increasing emissions the notorious non-signatory is apparently the only major one in compliance, more precisely, quite a bit better than compliance. It isn’t even ironic, really, it’s just another piece of evidence that preening, self-congratulation, virtue signalling, and pious condemnation of others isn’t getting the job done, and that international conferences to which heads of state and negotiating teams travel in luxury jet aircraft are wasteful and useless.
Perhaps the Germans and French should transfer some their wealth to us for investments in fracking, natural gas production, and pipelines...to reduce greenhouse gases of course.
