Accords

 

                                                           Accords

The Americans have rejoined the Paris Accords. Gaia moved.

Opposition to the Accords in the U.S. is misunderstood--or purposely mis-analyzed. It is a treaty purporting to address a debatable scientific climate thesis that is structured as a wish list, without any judicial or enforcement arm, and which excludes the major offenders of the thesis. As such, it is symbolic and dishonest, the perfect entity of politicians but not honorable men.

But that is not the objection by many in the U.S. Our world is glutted with symbolic insincerity. The objection in the U.S. is over how this Treaty was entered: it was signed by the President and, in this country, treaties are approved by the Senate. It is quite rigid. The Senate. Government is a collection of mutually agreed upon concepts, laws, and processes. None of those elements can be by-passed for "the common good," or the "betterment of veterans," or "the children" and have the structured government remain.

Running the government on two sets of intellectual books will fail.
