Then Trump, like you, fundamentally misunderstands how the Agreement works.
There also then would need to be the same serious concrete requirements and punishments for the US, so there's no way he's ever going to the table to negotiate this because he would have to enact swingeing changes to US environmental legislation and the corporate landscape, and so far he has done the exact opposite.
Yesterday had absolutely nothing to do with India or China and everything to do with Trump, Pruitt and the rest of the shitheads that he has surrounded himself with.
I'm not talking about Trump, I'm talking about the deal.
And yes there's two assumptions one could make that nations will attempt to follow the rules of deal or they won't. If they won't it's worthless and does nothing anyway so we should ignore that assumption.
If countries are following the rules and China and India could grow anyway they want for 13 years it gives them an economic advantage over the rest of the world, as they're able to utilize the cheapest sources of energy regardless of Co2 emissions (while other nations need to keep them in mind)
And since China and India are getting these advantages given to them because that's how the deal was made they should have to pay a price. That price should be accountability after their 13 year grace period.
The United States shouldn't need to have these punishments too, because we're not being awarded with a special 13 year grace period like China and India. We will be expected to immediately comply with the standards, not to mention we obviously will probably be the number one financer of clean energy in other countries like India because that's how this excrement always works.
I don't see how that's unreasonable. The deal was made to cater to them, they should at least be forced to do their part
