Chinese President Xi Jinping and French President Emmanuel Macron have signed a pact recommitting to the 2015 Paris Agreement, just days after the US formally withdrew from the landmark global treaty to fight climate change.

Speaking at a joint signing ceremony in the Chinese capital Beijing Wednesday, Xi reiterated both sides shared determination to"push forth the Paris Climate Accords in response to climate change."Though neither leader mentioned the US by name, Macron called out what he described as the"isolated choices" made by some nations.

Wow, , you all really love this genocidal dictator, huh? As for France, they’ve always been cowards.

Good let them pay for it instead of us

Westerners here jibber jabbering about China, while they basically know nothing about how much effort China put into the protection. LOL. I'm gonna plant another tree in my Ant Forest. (they don't even know what that is.)

If China, by itself, simply had American standards as they are today, they wouldn’t be a top three polluter in the world. They don’t need an agreement with France to do that.

US is left behind again on world stage.

Goodbye America, it's been nice (sort of) knowing you but the rest of us are moving on without you. There are more important things on this planet to deal with than your arrogance. Enjoy the bubble you've created over your country, don't expect us to ever look back.

That is exactly what God wants us to do

The U.S gentlemanly refused to attend the climate conference in G7...

I really like this french leader

2015 and still their the Smoggiest places on Earth,, OK then

Save our place.

Climate change is a hoax. Back in the '70s these douchbags were preaching the Earth was gonna have another ice age if we didn't act quickly.

Let's see if China actually does something.

China signed on and stated they would reach maximum emissions by 2030. That’s all their commitment was.

If they have never reduced their emissions- and they haven’t-then they’re not REcommitting to it. They’re either actually committing to it, or they’re lying. Considering that the Agreement is a sham. We’ve lowered ours without pretending they’re all serious. Actions over words.

China is so trustworthy 😉

Sad, we will be on the wrong side of history

Also wtf Trump, wtf?

I say, thank you China!

We'll be back.
