However, developing nations are only too aware that the $100 billion per annum funding pledge is never going to materialize, not least because the U.S. Congress would never agree to such an astronomical wealth transfer."
That money would go a long way towards assisting with the real most important issue of out time, wiping out ISIS. Obama's idiotic priorities are gambling not just the world economy but also our lives. A big number of us are going to pay for the monumental idiocy and incompetence of his climate agenda. There have been many although not sufficiently emphasized reports in the media that ISIS has been trying to get nuclear material for a dirty bomb. If and when they manage to get their hands on that material and deliver it, Paris will look pale by comparison. What's worse, the FBI director says he currently has over 900 cases open and recently retired high level officials say the FBI is far short of having the necessary resources to deal with the threat. All the while Obama goes on the offense in climate change but just plays defense against ISIS, and deploys a very porous net to catch the bad guys at home. We need enlightened leadership urgently.

A couple of questions. If these zealots truly believe the coming armageddon, why go to Paris? Why not log on to "go to meeting" and chat with other likeminded zealots and not burn an astronomical amount of jet fuel? What ever happened to the prediction ( by these same zealots) in 1974 that in 10 years the world would be enveloped by an Ice Age that would see massive crop failures and billions of deaths from hunger if we did not stop driving cars with internal combustion engines and burn coal to produce electricity. Global Cooling, Global Warming and Global Climate Change all caused by CO2!

Getting the entire world to agree to binding targets is folly. The Chinese, India, Iran, Iraq, aren't going to agree to fixed reductions. China just reported that it had been sending way more CO2 up to stack at coal fired plants all over their country and it would try to do better. Wow. Time for America to work in its own self interests. A few days ago we learned in another Journal article that "America’s share of world-wide greenhouse-gas emissions has been declining for more than a decade, to 13% today from 24% in 2000. China pumps out 23% of the world’s emissions. Emissions from India, which account for 6%, are expected to triple between 2010 and 2030." These figure are important because they show the idiocy of a president who wants the U.S. to carry the load for the world. It doesn't matter if bad guys disperse throughout the world killing innocent people, but we sure can cut our emissions so that others can pollute more freely.
