The UN Admits That the Paris Climate Deal Was a Fraud (investors.com)

This Investor's Business Daily editorial title was clearly chosen by someone fond of spinning fake news. IBD does not appear to be an unbiased source of news and seems to embrace climate change deniers.

The United Nations climate report cited concludes that even if every country abides by the grand promises they made last year in Paris to reduce greenhouse gases, the planet would still be "doomed." That is hardly fraud--that says that the Paris accord projections were wildly optimistic and that the signatories have not been successful in meeting their goals. To see where we stand, take a look at https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2017/11/06/climate/world....


This concurs with my reading on the subject - the changes required to genuinely make a difference are drastic. Most people don't want to hear this. Personally I think geoengineering offers our best hope.

Clickbait-y non-news article.


How can I find out who the article’s author is?
