"Have you any idea why the US is in for at least double and almost always far more than double what every other country is? "
We are the wealthiest country in the history of the universe as we know it. So far, only 10% of the money is from us, and we are 22% of the world economy. The goal is to raise $100B/year by '20, and all we are pledging is $3B total. In addition, a plurality of the CO2 is from us.

"Does that seem like the kind of agreement a sensible person enters into?"
Since it's entirely voluntary, yes. We can stay in, declare moral bankruptcy, and not pay another dime. Does that seem like something Trump's been doing all his life?
I won't mind a bit, as long as we commit to being carbon-free by 2050.
