The Paris Agreement - Nicaragua

​The Paris Agreement entered into force on 4th November 2016, so the first anniversary is only weeks away. The latest good news is that Nicaragua has now made its commitment to Paris, and will officially become a member in November this year.  Only recently, Nicaragua suffered badly in the devastation caused by tropical storm Nate.

Out of the 197 countries which have now committed to this agreement, only 2 countries remain outside – America and Syria.  One might be forgiven for thinking that these two are strange bedfellows, however Syria has its immediate survival to think about, whereas America has caused shock, surprise, dismay and even wonder – since the Republican flag was raised over Washington D.C.  

America however, now has in place a Special Envoy on Climate Change, . so come on America, you can prosper through new technology – and that has the potential to create jobs for millions of Americans.  Perhaps the Paris Agreement is not completely out of reach.  Do ‘my fellow Americans’ agree with this – and care to comment?
