Can I get a smug lecture on how you're choosing the third, disconnected track?

Farther up the tracks, long ago already crossed, lie the remains of every single flag tied to the Paris Climate Accords.

    The Climate Accords were a pointless do-nothing treaty with nothing to make any country uphold its' obligations. Signing it or not meant nothing and means nothing. While being signatories the US under the democrats never even approached upholding the accords. After Biden got elected he handed out fracking contracts like nobodys' business, so it pretty clearly did not matter to him or the party. There is so far only one country slated to reach the goals set by the accords and you're going to cry foul at what country that is.

    edit: You can downvote the comment all you want, it does not make it less true. The Climate Accords has no provisions to make signatories follow it, the US has never come close to begin to approaching the goals set by the accord, Biden did hand out a bunch of new fracking contracts, and there is only one country so far that is expected to hit the goals set by the accords. Have you actually read the Paris Agreement?
