Global Warning, the Paris Agreement and Small Actions with Big Impact.
Today, global warming is one of the biggest emerging problem of mankind. A lot of researches have been done to minimize the effect of greenhouse gases on the environment which are responsible for global temperature rise. Global temperature rises due to these greenhouse gases and is responsible for many type of problems faced by mankind. All countries are trying their best to limit the production of these gases or to nullify the effect of these gases. Even a lot of agreements are signed & seminars are being conducted by various countries to bring different countries on a single platform to think about the seriousness of this issue & bring out some possible solution for the same. Some countries are taking this problem casually without analyzing the consequences of the problem as an example an agreement was signed to sets out a global action plan to put the world on track to avoid dangerous climate change by limiting global warming to well below 2°C at the Paris climate conference in December 2015, 195 countries adopted the first-ever universal, legally binding global climate deal, but US pulls out its contribution after some time. Was this a wise business action but an environmental catastrophe?
Many many thanks for anything even a paragraph you can help me with!
Explanation / Answer
The Paris Agreement builds upon the Convention and – for the first time – brings all nations into a common cause to undertake ambitious efforts to combat climate change and adapt to its effects, with enhanced support to assist developing countries to do so. As such, it charts a new course in the global climate effort.
The Paris Agreement’s central aim is to strengthen the global response to the threat of climate change by keeping a global temperature rise this century well below 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels and to pursue efforts to limit the temperature increase even further to 1.5 degrees Celsius. Additionally, the agreement aims to strengthen the ability of countries to deal with the impacts of climate change. To reach these ambitious goals, appropriate financial flows, a new technology framework and an enhanced capacity building framework will be put in place, thus supporting action by developing countries and the most vulnerable countries, in line with their own national objectives. The Agreement also provides for enhanced transparency of action and support through a more robust transparency framework.
When 195 countries agreed last year to sign the deal — which lays out a commitment to cut back on pollution contributing to climate change — it was a historic symbol of unity for a common cause. Trump, who once called global warming a "hoax," has more power than nearly any other world leader to undermine that cause.
Cons:
It weakens the entire goal of the agreement
There are 195 nations that signed the Paris deal, but only one of them — China — plays a bigger part in its goals than the United States.
The U.S. is the second biggest polluting country in the world, contributing 16% of global greenhouse gas emissions in 2015, according to data from BP. That’s half of the amount from every other nation in the world combined except for China, Russia, Japan, India and the EU countries.
It would upset American businesses
It’s ironic to see American corporate behemoths jumping behind the Paris deal, when climate change regulations are often bad for their bottom line.
But in this case, even leading American companies think the CEO-in-chief is making the wrong call.
More than 300 companies — including Starbucks, Microsoft, Apple, Google and ExxonMobil, a company that challenged climate change awareness for years — signed an open letter in November demanding Trump stand by the Paris agreement.
Business leaders argued that the arrangement would not only create jobs and generate economic growth — it would help America stand tall as a global leader on the issue.
It chills some of America’s most vital alliances
Trump ended his otherwise drama-free foreign trip last week on a sour note after standing as the only G-7 leader who would not pledge support to the accord.
That puts the United States at odds with some of its most important allies in G-7 and beyond, including Canada, Germany, the United Kingdom, France, Italy, Japan and China . That clash could bring trickle-down damage to many other diplomatic issues.
It would be the final nail in the coffin for Obama’s climate legacy
Trump started chipping away at Obama’s environmental actions as soon as he got into office. He got the Keystone XL Pipeline going away, rolled back Obama-era regulations and gutted the funds and staff of the Environmental Protection Agency .
Stepping out of the Paris deal would essentially deal a deadly blow to Obama’s biggest efforts to help the environment. At the time of its signing last year, Obama hailed the agreement as “the best possible shot to save the one planet we’ve got.”
Pros:
President Trump says complying with the Paris Agreement would impose unacceptable costs on the U.S. economy and provide unfair advantages to other countries like China and India. Trump has downplayed the threat of climate change and criticized the Obama administration’s expanded carbon regulations.
Trump has emphasized the expansion of U.S. fossil fuel production. His “America First Energy Plan” focuses on reducing the price of oil, achieving “energy independence,” tapping domestic oil sources, and creating energy-related jobs by decreasing regulation. He has also promised to end what he sees as wasteful payments to the United Nations Green Climate Fund. The United States has already paid $1 billion into this fund, with $2 billion more pledged. Faced with a choice between complying with Paris and boosting the U.S. economy, the administration asserts that “growing our economy is going to win,” according to Trump’s chief economic advisor, Gary Cohn.
Meanwhile, a number of economic analyses question whether leaving the agreement will create jobs. Protecting jobs in the oil, gas, and coal industries, some economists say, could come at the cost of investments in clean energy industries that may ultimately offer more long-term employment.
