Developed countries, like the US, must provide $100B per year for the next 30 years, or $3 trillion, to developing countries including India and China, so they can implement new renewable sources of energy. In exchange, we all set targets to help keep global warming to a 2 degrees increase or less. As we all know from the UN and NATO, the Europeans are complete deadbeats and the US picks up 90% of UN costs and 70% of NATO costs. Therefore, we can expect to pick up around 80% of the Paris deal's costs as well. So that's $2.4 trillion less for American jobs and growth and all of our other spending priorities, just so other countries can benefit. I say, "F_CK that". It's time that ALL countries stop being deadbeats. The US can't pay for everything. We're $20 trillion in debt already and running deficits close to $1 trillion per year. All this socialist redistribution from the US to the rest of the world and from the makers in the US to the takers in the US must stop. Not only is it not fair, it is not ethical, and it drives a worldwide culture of laziness and entitlement that never ends and leads to poverty for everyone involved. As they say in Cuba, "long live socialism, we are all equal in our poverty".
