Is USA really the only country against Human Climate Change?

[Garnier Fructis]

Mind your own countrys buisness.

"Location: Iceland"

Take your own advice?

[Healing Rain]

In order for the US to enter into a treaty the treaty has to be approved by the US Senate. Obama seemed to forget that when he attempted to unilaterally enter the US into the Paris Accords.

[Garnier Fructis]

You mean against a agreement sure but actual climate change nope.

Explain the huge number of deniers, then.

[Mittens]

Yes, the USA is the only country that is actively fighting human climate change. In fact, we are one of the two countries that are reducing emissions despite economic growth.

[Molis]

This is nothing more than US nation bashing allowed on MMOC

Thanks Bin Laden

Free will. When people have a option they chose what’s best in their perspective.
Since you are allowed to have free speech you can oppose anything. Wether it’s entirely accurate or not it’s free speech. It’s like why do so many people think socialism works? Obviously it has failed but people cling to it because they think it works or it’s entirely true despite the reality.

[Forgettable]

If by "against" you mean "a large percentage of does not believe in it" then possibly.

I'm not asking why they're allowed to have a wrong idea. I'm asking why you don't consider the US to be against climate change when a gigantic fraction of the populace has this wrong idea, and they elect politicians to push this wrong idea.

Like, what even was this response of yours.

[schwank05]

No, we just don't give a shit.

[Super Kami Dende]

Almost half of the US is 1000% against Climate change

Because population =/= to Government involvement.

You seriously think the people in 90% of the countries that signed the Paris agreement give a fuck about Climate Change? Most of them likely don't even know it exists.

[Garnier Fructis]

No, we just don't give a shit.

On the contrary, every denier I've met has given a shit. They've given a shit about their wallet, and they figure that their wallet is more important than their intellectual integrity.

I love money, who doesn't? But I care about the truth more, because I have integrity.

[Tico]

It is only their president and some followers. As far as I know 70% of the US people accept the fact that climate change is caused by humans.

Because the states differ from the national government. Otherwise I don’t know how to answer because it beyond my knowledge. All I can say is that we have a public education system where everyone is taught about being good citizens of the earth. After that it’s entirely up to them aka the students to decide what they want to do. So if half the population believes climate change is not real it’s really base on their own choice. Voting wise it’s who ever can rally the most. Plain and simple. If people feel that regulation will hurt business especially small ones they are less inclined to vote green or something else unless a offer is made to prevent them from tanking because of regulation and restrictions.
I’m against the accord because I don’t want promises that will hinder the economy and I believe that we can set our own system to slow global warming. The other part is that it will not stop and that radical measures would have to put that could include shutting down electricity and such to stop the earth from warming. People don’t see that consequence and I am completely against that.

[Mittens]

Almost half of the US is 1000% against Climate change, how u can argue otherwise is beyond me. It's not that they don't believe in climate change, but it's that most of our government does not care because doing something would cost ������ ������ ������. Better to say climate change doesn't exist and save a few dollars than leave the world a better place for our grandchildren. THAT is the mentality of most of America

Yet our emissions continue to decline and will continue for the years to come. On the other hand, Mexico hasn't even reached its peak yet

Funnily enough, a lot of Scandinavian Countries on that list. The "go to" People generally for "progressive Governments" have less people that see Climate change as a actual Threat.

The US even sits high above Average on thinking its a threat on the list regardless of not being part of the Paris Agreement.

So we are among the most aware countries in the world? That's nice to know.

Also, a lot of people acknowledge Climate change but don't think Humans are the direct cause. The entire argument isn't as simple as "for or against" since there are multiple variables.

Pedantic people will tear your title apart.

China also maybe

china is doing a lot about it, and going to exceed the targets they were set for action on it.

[Rukario]

I think there is an issue most ppl forget to address, climate change isn't just temperature increase...in fact i would say that one wouldn't even be an issue if it was real.

The damage that certain emissions and wastes can do to the environment and to people, now that is a very real threat...but all ppl seem to talk about are the forking polar ice caps...
