If the Russians are so opposed to the Paris Agreement, why did they sign on for it?
I suppose they didn't want to be on the outside looking in. But make no mistake, half their budget is comprised of exporting oil and gas so they are obviously incentivized to do as much of it as possible and also create the conditions in Europe and beyond, where as many countries as possible are reliant on them to keep their citizens warm and their economies chugging along.
