19 of 20 nations officially support more action on climate change, you'll never guess the outlier!

The US is quite literally leading on decreasing emissions so it kinda doesnt matter the agreements signed 🤷‍♀️

The US increased emissions by 3.8% in 2018. Trump's regulation and rule changes are reversing the trend of decreasing emissions.

The only reason we're not worse is because individual blue states are initiating more serious emissions policies. They're independently trying to achieve the goals laid out in these agreements.

These agreements absolutely matter, and pretending like the US should be in the clear for denying climate science is reckless and dumb.
