Is Global Warming a Hoax?

Then again, no-one realistically expects Trump to do anything about the climate no matter what words they use.

Can you please tell me what Obama has done about climate change, and what you would have expected Clinton to do?

Obama signed the Paris Accord and ratified it. I expect Trump will be doing his best to dodge it given the guy he appointed to the EPA is a climate change sceptic who's repeatedly sued the EPA in the past.

Don't know what Clinton would have done. Probably not much of anything.

Of course Obama signed it. It doesn't come into force until 2020, so Obama hasn't got to worry about the economic consequences. Trump will be in power when this comes into force.

Furthermore, this agreement is just a bunch of aims, there are no specific commitments other than to be "ambitious" and "progressive".

It's a junk agreement that is designed to make it look like they're doing something.

Maybe, maybe not. Assuming he isn't impeached, assassinated, otherwise dead, or quits, he will be just about finished his one and possibly only term by then.

Maybe, maybe not. We won't know until we see how different countries respond to it. For example, the Kyoto agreement had its targets met by the EU. So it wasn't just for show.
