Even if its cuts to carbon dioxide emissions were fully implemented for the rest of the century, the accord would decrease temperatures by the year 2100 by just 0.023°F. Bjorn Lomborg explains.
This is using the UN’s own climate prediction model.
The cost of the Paris Climate Accord would likely cost $1 to 2 trillion dollars every year. That means we would spend at least one hundred trillion ($100,000,000,000,000) by the end of the century. For almost nothing in return.
“Turns out that those politicians who gathered in Paris, Frace, could learn a lot from Paris, Texas,” says Lomborg.
