@Yoss
The US's plan, which the Obama administration submitted in March 2015, set the goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 26% to 28% by 2025. The baseline level this reduction is measured against is 2005, when the US emitted 6,132 million metric tons of carbon dioxide.
[...]
Obama signed an executive order confirming the US's adoption of the agreement, but he didn't submit it to Congress for approval. That's how Trump is able to "cancel" the US's commitment to the accord.
The Obama administration also enacted carbon-cutting measures to put the country on track to meet the goals set in Paris and position the US as a leader in fighting climate change. Under Obama, the US started to reduce its emissions, both because of the rise in affordable renewable energy and the abundance of natural gas due to fracking.

The number of vegans who show issue with that vs the number of people who show issue with veganism is probably a climate change expert divide-esque ratio, just a hunch mind.RedDave2 wrote:Diluted Dante wrote:The easier approach is to just eat your fucking meat in silence.
To be fair, some vegans have shown issue with that.
