So that is everyone except May so far?!

The first ever agreement to include all the main players has been scuppered by a toddler president. This is bad. The only other countries to refuse are Nicaragua and Syria.

Maritz takes the same view as the president. He knows more than the rest of the worlds climate scientists. We'll be able to build a big wall around our country and protect ourselves from rising sea levels, everyone else can go to hell.

He will probably moan about all the refugees who flee from from these countries who's coastlines are disappearing and who's agricultural land is drying up (it is already happening by the way).

The point is Maritz, is that it is a start. A base to improve on. Getting China and America to both agree on something would have been a massive coup and the beginning of an improved agreement. That is why most of the world leaders, scientists and public are horrified. You know better though I suppose.

You are actually arguing that it would cost too much to try and save the planet. How have we got to this point?
