So with Trump pulling the USA out of the Paris Climate Accord to join Syria and Nicaragua, how does that affect us here in Oz?

Is Human made climate warming fact or fiction?

Interested in others thoughts on this...

The Donald is certainlly having a great time in foreign policy. He has not actually pulled them out of any accord as the treaty has never been law in the United States. Obama never put the treaty to the Senate, aware as he must have been, that it would never pass.

Does it even matter if it is man made warming or not. We as a species and habitants of this planet should be doing our utmost to care for it, to protect and preserve its bounties and resources rather than burn and destroy them by engaging the cleanest energy policies we can. Continuous population explosion across the globe ain't gonna make this gig any easier. We are heading for decay and extinction unless we as a species change our ways

the planet has been hotter and colder over time but yes, we are having an impact on global warming but to what extent I suggest the jury is still out.

Every country has used theses types of agreements to benefit themselves .For example the EU Taxes Carbon but subserdises Diesel powered passenger cars.NOx emissions are far worse than carbon.
Australia is the world's largest exporter of coal.Clean energy is no good for us like President Trump.I believe clearing off natural habitat and overpopulation cause environmental issues.

To put in words that Trump ca understand: what Trump did was very, very, very, very, very, very bad.

The golobal temperature has increased since 1750
The key point is that the realtionship between CO2 and warming is not linear; the planet has got colder in that era at different times
Europe had its coldest winter in 1945-6
Is it really realistic to blame the warming on CO 2 alone when Britain was the only industrial country in 1900?
The truth is that 'energy forcing' is both natural and man-made.

Trump is just making sure he is re-electted. After all, he did promise to help the coal miners.
