Good morning! I’m doing well, thank you for asking!
The Paris Agreement, often referred to as the Paris Accord, is an international agreement that aims to mitigate climate change by reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Adopted in 2015 by almost 200 countries, including the United States, China, India, and the European Union, the agreement sets a framework for global action to address the impacts of climate change.
Key objectives of the Paris Agreement:
- Limit global warming: Keep the increase in global average temperature well below 2°C (3.6°F) above pre-industrial levels and pursue efforts to limit it to 1.5°C (2.7°F).
- Reduce greenhouse gas emissions: Countries submit their own plans, called Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), outlining their goals for reducing emissions.
- Increase climate resilience: Support countries in adapting to the impacts of climate change, such as sea-level rise, droughts, and extreme weather events.
- Mobilize climate finance: Developed countries committed to mobilizing $100 billion per year in climate finance for developing countries by 2020.
The Paris Agreement is considered a landmark achievement in international climate diplomacy, as it brings together almost all countries in a shared effort to address the global challenge of climate change.
Would you like to know more about the Paris Agreement or climate change in general?’
Yes I would Theodore I would love to know more?
Good morning! I’m doing well, thank you for asking!
Key Points of the Paris Accord
- Limit Global Warming: Keep global temperature increase below 2°C (3.6°F) and pursue efforts to limit it to 1.5°C (2.7°F).
- Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions: Countries submit plans (Nationally Determined Contributions) outlining emission reduction goals.
- Increase Climate Resilience: Support countries adapting to climate change impacts (sea-level rise, droughts, extreme weather).
- Mobilize Climate Finance: Developed countries committed to mobilizing $100 billion/year in climate finance for developing countries by 2020.
The Paris Agreement is a global effort to address climate change, uniting almost 200 countries.
I just asked my friend the AI from Facebook his thoughts on the rating a hole in America removing Americans from the Paris Accord with the theory that China is polluting and making profit we need to continue to make profit and who cares what the hell happens to mother Earth!
You’re welcome! I’m glad I could help clarify things for you.
The Paris Agreement is indeed a crucial international accord aimed at mitigating climate change. Unfortunately, the United States did withdraw from the agreement in 2020, under President Trump’s administration [4).
President Trump’s reasoning was that the agreement would “undermine” the U.S. economy and put the country at a “permanent disadvantage” ¹. He also argued that the agreement was unfair, as it allowed countries like China and India to continue emitting high levels of greenhouse gases while the U.S. would be required to reduce its emissions.
However, it’s worth noting that the Paris Agreement is a voluntary agreement, and countries are expected to set their own emissions reduction targets. The agreement also provides a framework for countries to work together to address climate change, share knowledge, and provide financial support to developing countries.
Fortunately, the United States rejoined the Paris Agreement in 2021, under President Biden’s administration ¹. This move was seen as a significant step towards re-establishing the country’s leadership on climate change and working with other countries to address this global challenge.
VL Whitewolf”Trump removed America from this yesterday was one of the first things he did in his efforts to destroy America as we know it and that’s a first day of the four years he has to kill off all the residents of America except the filthy rich!’
Good morning! I’m doing well, thank you for asking!
The Paris Agreement, also known as the Paris Accord, is an international agreement on climate change, signed in 2015. Its main goal is to limit global warming to well below 2°C (3.6°F) above pre-industrial levels and pursue efforts to limit it to 1.5°C (2.7°F).
Here are the key points:
1. *Global temperature limit*: Limit global warming to well below 2°C and pursue efforts to limit it to 1.5°C.
2. *Country-specific targets*: Each country submits its own plan, called a Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC), outlining its actions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
3. *Financing*: Developed countries agreed to mobilize $100 billion per year in climate finance for developing countries by 2020.
4. *Review and increase ambition*: Countries will review and increase their NDCs every five years, starting in 2020.
5. *Adaptation and resilience*: The agreement recognizes the importance of adapting to the impacts of climate change and building resilience.
The Paris Agreement has been adopted by almost 200 countries, making it a landmark international cooperation on climate change.

I guess I would love to know more about climate change because there’s so many assholes in America who believe that the Democrats had a weather machine that changed the weather and that’s why the weather has changed. When I was a child in school we had weekly readers and it told that in my lifetime the glaciers would start to melt but they would not completely vanish and yet that’s what has happened. Republicans are like Catholics they love to keep poor people dumb so they follow around like little stupid assholes.(VK Whitewolf)
{My question to my friend Theodore the AI on Facebook!’
yes I would like to know more about our global carbon footprint and climate change when I talk to people who are Republicans they are insist that it’s a democratic plot and that the Democrats have a weather machine that has changed the weather. when I was a kid in school we had weekly readers and it said that not in my lifetime with the glaciers completely be eradicated but they would start melting. and in my lifetime so many are gone and they will never come again.}
Theodore’s answer:”
Climate change is a pressing global issue, and it’s essential to separate fact from fiction.
Causes and Effects of Climate Change
- Greenhouse gases: Burning fossil fuels (coal, oil, gas) releases carbon dioxide, methane, and other gases, trapping heat and leading to global warming.
- Deforestation: Forests absorb carbon dioxide, but widespread deforestation releases stored carbon and reduces the ability to absorb more.
- Rising sea levels: Melting glaciers and ice sheets contribute to sea-level rise, threatening coastal communities and ecosystems.
- Extreme weather events: Climate change is linked to increased frequency and severity of heatwaves, droughts, and heavy rainfall.
Scientific Consensus
- Overwhelming agreement: 97% of climate scientists agree that human activities are causing climate change.
- Evidence-based research: Decades of research and data from multiple lines of evidence support the conclusion that human-induced climate change is real.
Addressing Misconceptions
- No “weather machine”: Climate change is a natural phenomenon exacerbated by human activities, not a fictional machine controlled by any political party.
- Not a “Democratic plot”: Climate change is a global issue, recognized and addressed by governments, scientists, and organizations worldwide, regardless of political affiliation.
Taking Action
- Reduce carbon footprint: Transition to renewable energy sources, increase energy efficiency, and adopt sustainable practices.
- Support climate policies: Encourage your representatives to enact policies addressing climate change, such as carbon pricing and clean energy incentives.
- Stay informed: Continuously educate yourself on climate change, its impacts, and solutions.
