Paris was a tremendous defeat for the climate alarmists. Now that they have their treaty – a non-binding treaty – their ability to stir up political momentum to do more is undermined. If the environmental movement already has their agreement to save the world, why is anything more necessary. Especially anything that is costly to the hip-pocket such as a carbon tax.

The Greens, rarely for them, have settled for half measures. That was unwise considering these half measures are nothing at all apart from climate aid. Few like to remember that the Republicans still control the U.S. Congress. Centre-right parties control most governments in Europe.

Paris climate deal not meaningfully different from 1992 Rio accord. Bush 41 ridiculed for that deal. Obama will be praised for replicating.

It is time for the environmental movement to face up to the fact that there never will be an international treaty to restrain carbon emissions. The practical way to respond to global warming is healthier is wealthier, richer is safer. Faster economic growth creates more resources for resilience and adaptation to a changing environment.
