Calvin Beisner, Founder and National Spokesman of The Cornwall Alliance for the Stewardship of Creation,“The ‘commitments’ made in the Paris agreement are voluntary and unenforceable, which means most nations will not comply. EU nations said they would make binding commitments only if all major emitters did—and they didn’t.”
China and India, the #1 and #3 CO2 emitting nations, plan for their emissions to continue rising at least until 2030, and reductions even in rate of growth later will depend on whether they can be made without slowing their rise out of poverty. Other developing countries’ “commitments” are similar.
