Global Warming Accord

At U.N., 175 nations sign landmark Paris accord on global warming
Quote:
In a striking declaration that the world is finally ready to change its polluted ways, global leaders gathered at the United Nations headquarters here to sign the landmark Paris climate accord, an agreement that’s seen as the blueprint for rescuing the planet.

The question is whether the plan will work.

Year after year, decade after decade, the planet has been getting warmer. This March was the warmest in recorded history. Scientists say the future will be filled with food shortages, drought, rising seas and extreme weather if bold action is not taken quickly.

“We are in a race against time,” said United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon.
I am posting this mainly because of this precious picture of Kerry holding his granddaughter while signing the accord. That's a cool picture of young Isabel sitting on her grandpa's lap while he is conducting official business. As for the accord itself, who knows.

Don't want to bring you down but that agreement is voluntary.

To little to late. I will not see it, but those who will be, given this mess we left them will curse us.

At least I'm trying to do my part now and do believe more still needs doing. Instead of making excuses and denying there is a problem like some. But fear it is to late now.

That picture is a part of Global Warming's marketing strategy.

(Seems like a lovely picture to me. And where you see manipulation, I just see meaning.)

What meaning do you see in the picture? Manipulation sighting is your inference.

Also, please stop shouting at me (I'm right here) and kindly refrain from editing my posts.

To answer, let me borrow a few lines from Stevie Wonder:

Quote:
If it's special
Then with it why aren't we as careful
As making sure we dress in style
Posing pictures with a smile
Keeping danger from a child

Reads like a marketing strategy.

So, we must add Stevie Wonder to the list of stuff you don't get?
