Why is the planet warming always considered such a negative. Oh, I know all the predictions are for disaster heaped on disaster. But, most of the predictions so far have been bunk, so why not these as well? Who got to decide that the planetary temperature in, say, 1975 was the optimum and everything should be done to prevent any deviation from that?

Out of curiosity, can anybody supply U.S.-specific numbers called for in the agreement? I'm thinking both CO2 reduction targets in addition to financial contributions. From what I've read so far on the subject -- not much, admittedly -- it sounds like Obama gave away $500M and a fuzzy pledge to keep worldwide temperatures from rising more than two degrees.

It doesn't even really matter what the numbers were. The left in the United States would have sued to compel enforcement of them. That is probably the number one reason to withdraw.
