Dumb, dumb article. Cities and states have become powerful players in international relations in recent decades. This trend has been driving international affairs bottom up for decades. Track Parag Khanna. He's a spokesperson for technocracy but he's also describing what is indeed occurring. http://www.paragkhanna.com/

If it was about carbon emissions, Europe would negotiate. But it's not.

What it's really about is balancing/downsizing living standards to prepare citizens to accept a world government. China has the best part of the deal because their people are cowed/controlled either way and the Chinese elites are expected to be the philosophical and political centrifuge for the global slave state they are salivating for.

Thank you President Trump for shitting on their momentum.

“China and Europe have demonstrated solidarity with future generations and responsibility for the whole planet,” Tusk added, in reference to a joint EU-China statement that vowed to “step up” efforts on global warming, including the raising of $100bn a year by 2020 to help poorer countries cut emissions.

Ironic being that china has one of the most polluted places on this earth.

So they'll try to use their power to ReNegotiate with each State? I hope Donald puts a quick stop to that bullshit

Heh. Fake News.

Do you think these CEOs and States are going to do anything more than put in a few LED lightbulbs and solar panels?

Will then send trillions of dollars to other countries? Doubtful.

Will they outsource millions of jobs to third world countries? Doubtful.

These state and corporate show-boats are all sound-bytes.

I view this as a win-win-win

Win - Trump did the right thing in bringing to light the inequity of the Paris Accord and rejecting it.

Win - Trump can absolve himself of any bad decisions connected to the Paris Accord.

Win - Individual states are deciding to take their own measures for green energy and reducing carbon footprint.

It's kind of genius really.
