Hopefully, but Indiana won't be one of them.

You wonder why the most successful and wealthiest nations back the climate accord? What does that have to do with anything?
Oh, you must mean that this climate change 'hoax' is just a ponzi-scheme to get government funds across the world?

You sound like an anarchist, but I won't get your hopes up, as America is nowhere close to a second civil war.
Well it works for the upper percentage. They use the accord as an excuse to shape the economies of the world however they want. Why would they want something that favors China? Because they moved all their businesses to China, Probably getting rich on slave labor. They don't want any competition driving down their profits.

Sounds like you're just making it up

The notion that this accord would have some meaningful impact on climate change is humorous.
Every single nation in the world outside of two are part of this with Syria being a mess and the other wanting a stronger deal. The USA is putting itself in the same league as North Korea as a pariah state and ceding business to China.
No big deal for California. We're already way more restrictive than the accord. We even legislate cow farts.
California regulates cow farts
The states that are saying they will still follow the Paris Accord are doing so because it is a green light to raise taxes! Sure they say to
follow the Paris guidelines, but will mainly go to plug the many shortfalls
within their budgets. Gov. Brown in Ca. is still looking for billions to fund his speedy train from Frisco to LA.

California has the 6th largest economy in the world, so how is your state doing in comparison?
Contrary to a popular belief, especially those on the right, tax money does not disappear into thin air. If spent wisely, it can be a great stimulus to an economy.NYS is already one of the, if not the highest taxed state in the USA.....I can hardly wait for the fall out from this
Secondly, the people of NY voted to have this, and I would suggest that it's their choice.

You don't understand NY politics and voting in NYS. a large population live in NYS but not NYC. However once you get down state in in and around NYC the population i larger. It is the NYC are that Albany politicians cater to and it is the group that would carry many of these things. Also much of what is spent is also spent on the NYC area and not always fairly or wisely.
I do not know how this will break out voting wise, but it has not yet been voted on yet. This is imply the Gov saying he will back it. And by the way, the Gov got into office on the votes of the NYC area. He lost the rest of the state.

That is excellent news. Methane from livestock is an extremely potent Ghg source. Hope the entire country follows suit.
I also consider that beef should be taxed to properly reflect the extreme drain on water resource, methane emission and added burden to Healthcare that beef consumption caused heart, pressure and cholesterol problems cause to Healthcare. These taxes should go to subsidize greens and vegetables and nonmeat protein foods (mushroom, soy etc.) that are both healthier and eco-friendly.
Beef environment cost 10 times that of other livestock - BBC News
A new study suggests that the production of beef is around 10 times more damaging to the environment than any other form of livestock.
Scientists measured the environment inputs required to produce the main US sources of protein.
Beef cattle need 28 times more land and 11 times more irrigation water than pork, poultry, eggs or dairy.
The research has been published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

Anytime you can get that many nations to agree on something, even if it is just in principle, it is significant.
Could you point out to me on this map what you think the "richest spots" are?
It seems you define "the richest spots" as everything except the U.S. and Syria. That is interesting.

Meaning the richest spots in America, the ones getting rich selling out our country to the Vaticans Global redistribution of wealth scheme. It's all laid out in the old Popes plan for the world.

This aint about America. You need to get you head out of your US.
