Biden Brings America Back into the Paris Agreement
What was the third executive order president Biden signed yesterday? The third executive order was the exit from the exit. So to say the return to the Paris treaty as indicated by the exit from the Paris treaty in the previous executive order. Now the exit from the exit, does it mean the United States are now immediately part of the Paris accord again? No, it means only that this order authorizes the United States to send a letter to the United nations. After the receipt of the letter, 30 days later, the USA will be back to the Paris treaty of climate change. So in other words, towards the end of February, things are back to where they should be.
That leads to the question. What is the Paris treaty? The Paris treaty is a United nations initiated document. Where all nations, 192 signatory countries of which 189 arrive now, binding members agree to limit the carbon emission in a way that the temperature should not be higher than 2% of pre-industrial levels.
Maybe even trying to cut it down to 1.5%, but most important, the treaty does not tell each nation what to do. It only requires a nation to attempt nationally to follow the principles and to reduce the climate changing emission. What will happen next is really the question in the United States. What laws would be implemented to stick within the 2%, but for now we will see what the other orders have in for us.
