there are a few definitions of Monopoly - 1. exclusive control of a commodity or service in a particular market 2. a control that makes possible the manipulation of prices.
Believe it or not, USA is NOT the only contributor to the Paris Agreement, the USA contribution is only 3% of the total figure. So you want to pollute and let everyone else clear up the mess. We all have responsibilities to this planet.
"Per capita, however, the U.S. pumped out more CO2 than China and India combined in 2015. On average, each individual living in the United States contributed 16.07 tons to the country’s total. But each individual living in China and India contributed 7.73 and 1.87 tons on average, respectively." quote from https://www.usatoday.com/story...
all empires eventually recede, Greek, Roman, Ottoman, UK - all got to a point where they thought they were safe and solid then an upstart came along and took the reigns. The US is just another economic power experiencing a start to its downturn in influence with certain individuals thinking it doesn't need anyone else.
because it will take long time to turn the amount of coal fired power stations into something better, they are not resting on their laurels, they are already leading in solar production.
The Paris accord is only bad for America because they are so profligate with cheap fuel, its cheap to burn burn burn and sod the consequences. it should have been the incentive for a large part of the US population to grow up and be more efficient, insulate their homes properly, get rid of the gas guzzling vehicles etc etc
the chinese population, on a per capita basis uses less than 50% of what the US population uses per capita and considering their population is 4 times the USA, thats not a bad result. its not overpopulation, its profligate use (and waste) of cheap fuel and lack of insulation in buildings in developed nations like the US that is the problem
a lot of the cooling/heating problems will be reduced massively if all buildings were insulated correctly. its because fuel has been cheap, its be easy to burn
"god american's are retarded If the world ends due to climate change, at least all the fucking Americans will be gone too" Do not insult a whole population for the attitude of a few vocal idiots
we are all on the same planet and what happens in one country affects another, pollution etc does NOT respect borders. if you help people in the their own country, you keep them there, if you do not help them then they start migrating to the places without the problem i.e. your doorstep
it'll only be replaced with Westminster bureaucracy.. oh no.. wait... the Uk governments are always too scared to do necessary things, they just leave it up their EU representatives to negotiate in brussels to make tough decisions so they don't get the blame back home because they know how stupid the UK voter is in separating the two.
maybe you should read the article first.... "Essential is clearly planning on releasing a very well-made phone: the screen looks promising, it has no annoying logos, and it is built with a combination of titanium and ceramic so it can survive a drop test “without blemish, unlike the aluminium competitor devices” do you really want to keep your phone in a the pick-pockets paradise back pocket?

the fine is potential 10% of revenue, not profits
Google doesn't have to trade in the EU if it doesn't like a level playing field or the rules to play by

no, but its a market with rules to try and keep it a level playing field

I think the figure was about $3B from the US for the Paris agreement.
i think you'll find the $100B is the total for ALL the countries involved
you need to read this definition as it defines it in the context of politics

Is that $100B an investment with returns or just a give away?

the US, per capita, produces twice the amount of pollution than China even though its a quarter of the population
because without consensus agreements, the greedy and corrupt take advantage

no, its a battle between the far right/left (because far left and far right are pretty much the same thing) and the remaining sensible population
a lot of the cooling/heating problems will be reduced massively if all buildings were insulated correctly. its because fuel has been cheap, its be easy to burn

Unfortunately people use "tax" as a pejorative term, in most cases, in the absence of an argument based on facts/knowledge/understanding

so much for init freedom then.
i expect he's just repeating crap he read from a troll somewhere (as most trolls seem to do)
