Eugene Robinson: Trump’s know-nothing stance has not wrecked the Paris Agreement

Washington - All of the leaders assembled at the Group of 20 meeting in Buenos Aires committed their nations to the fight against climate change, except one — President Trump, of course. But pay him no mind. As the proverb says, “The dogs bark but the caravan moves on.”

We have baked ourselves into an era of superlatives — the rainiest storms, worst floods, deadliest fires, most punishing heat waves. The hottest years on record.
