The US came under a last minute flurry of pressure not to abandon the deal even as new data revealed that the Paris agreement had failed to stop greenhouse gas emissions rising in the European Union since it was signed in 2015.Let me get this right. So Europe says they couldn't meet the goals of the Paris Accord to fight global warming because it was colder than normal?
"Higher emissions were caused mainly by increasing road transport, both passenger and freight, and slightly colder winter conditions in Europe, compared to 2014, leading to higher demand for heating," the European Environment Agency said, as it reported a rise of 0.5 percent in 2015 despite the international accord.
Nick Loris, an economist at the conservative Heritage Foundation, said it demonstrated the hypocrisy of European leaders who had lobbied Mr Trump on sticking to the pact. “It speaks to how disingenuous this whole process has become and a failure to acknowledge it’s an ineffective approach, despite billions spent by the United States, promises were broken by Europe, while at the same time they demanded the United States pay and do more, ” he said.
