...so it's unlikely that we'll sign onto the Paris Treaty,which would be binding,mandating obligation,monitoring,obeyance,,enforcement.

I thought it was because the other signatories weren't in obeyance.

Princeton University researchers have found that the climate models scientists use to project future conditions on our planet underestimate the daily cooling effect of clouds, particularly over land. Models tend to factor in too much of the sun’s daily heat, which results in warmer, drier conditions than might actually occur. The researchers found that these inaccuracies did not invalidate climate projections, but did increase the margin of error for understanding how climate change will affect us.

So maybe the ineffectual governance is moot anyway, we're at the mercy of forces beyond our ken.
