Part of it ...
"World Leaders Move Forward On Climate Change, Without U.S.," the Times headline sneered.
This would be an indictment of Trump's policies if it weren't entirely based on falsehoods and misrepresentations of what's really happening. Under the Paris agreement, the U.S. is supposed to slash greenhouse gas emissions — that is, carbon dioxide — by 28% below 2005 levels by 2025.
Other nations have what sound like equally aggressive cuts to make, until you look at the details, and see what's really happening.
As The New York Times itself noted in an article that ran just days before its article berating Trump, current plans call for at least 1,600 new coal-fired power plants around the world by 2025 — a 43% rise. China, which has been praised by many on the left for its climate "leadership," is building nearly half of those plants.
Worse, individual countries, by using tricky and downright misleading pollution accounting, are making actual
increases in CO2 output look like decreases— in the same way the U.S. Congress can call annual federal spending increases "cuts." So countries like Russia, China, Indonesia and India pledge major "cuts" of 20% and more in CO2, but in point of fact will actually be increasing their output of CO2 markedly.
