As corporations, citizens and governments continue to urge the Trump administration to stick with the Paris Climate Agreement, a new analysis is undercutting one of the climate naysayers primary objections:
China and India are actually years ahead of their climate commitments.
Those, at least, are the findings from Climate Action Tracker which suggest that scaling back of coal consumption in both countries is likely to be enough to 'cancel out' the expected slowing down of progress by the United States under President Trump. India, for example, had pledged to lower the emissions intensity by 33 to 35 percent by 2030 compared to 2005 levels. The new analysis suggests they will leap past that mark to a 42 to 45 percent cut in emissions intensity by 2030.

So we are pretending that the most polluted countries in the world are doing anything about global warming. More likely they are lying, resulting in the shackling the US economy; thus giving them an unfair business advantage that is ending the US ability manufacture anything.
Nice use of nme calling. We are all very impressed.
