I suspect the collective gropupthink on MMGW/CH realizes the clock is ticking, as more and more time goes by with either cooling, or no sea level rise, and no other disaster, the issue is going to fade, and "new science" that fits the actual weather/climate will slowly start to dominate. Probably with careful kid-glove wording and dissembling as to why the previous alarmism was wrong.
So they keep trying to get some sort of treaty done now while the issue is still credible in the global news cycle, because they want to use MMGW as the vehicle for international wealth transfer/socialism so badly.
What bothers me is that whatever vehicle they come up with next for trying to create a 1st world/3rd world "leveling" and wealth transfer will be much more insidious and difficult to debate. The worldwide Left will have learned their lesson to not couch the collectivist drive on some kind of existential threat that will betray them by never materializing.
I'm just afraid of more agreements and potential treaties that once again severely restrict the US, because the administration will force them on us. Meanwhile China, Russia, India, etc. "agree" to the same treaties, but either have stipulations favorable to them, or simply sign agreements, but ignore them with no consequences.
I saw that many of the EU countries are doing their version of "carbon credits" by giving tens to hundreds of millions of dollars to Third World countries to
pay them off help them adapt. Frankly, I'd just as soon have the US do the same thing instead of signing treaties that hamstring us.
AGW science is junk science, but as long as it's popular, there's going to be a cry among the first worlders with their first world problems to "Do something!". Even if the US gave a billion a year to "AGW affected third world countries" for "climate change" it would be a bargain compared to these restrictive treaty proposals that throttle innovation and jobs. We spend around six billion a month on the EBT. Throwing away a billion a year is a bargain in comparison.
