It soon became clear that something had gone very wrong in the text. Rumors circulated and, later, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry confirmed that the United States had challenged Article 4.4 on page 21 of the final 31-page agreement. To their dismay, U.S. government lawyers had said they had unknowingly endorsed a decisive word that could make a difference, that rich countries are legally required to reduce emissions instead of simply trying to “must” instead of “should.” Ideally used, carbohydrates can improve your fitness regimen – don`t derail! Shortly before 7:30 p.m., the fiasco was relayed as an undetected error in the text and the session was moved by the adoption of the Paris Agreement. This would delay or derail them, and neither option is acceptable. However, when the French Presidency presented at 13:30 local time its final text of the Paris agreement “Take or Leave”, the adoption of the text should have been a formality. To reinforce the traveller`s discomfort, the street bed is as bad as it can be and cars do not constantly derail. But let`s be clear: if this Congress sends me a new sanctions law that could derail these talks, I will veto it. It appears that the Presidency advised them to oppose the plenary if they wished to amend the text, but warned that this would reopen the whole session to the objections of other countries and might take two days or more to decide whether that is the case. The United States immediately understood that if it did so, it would be held responsible not only for stopping the meeting, but also for jeopardizing the entire agreement, as many other countries would then oppose parts of the agreement that they did not like. Could the fate of the world depend on a single word? Could the entire Paris climate agreement have failed at the last minute? History will be a diplomatic triumph, but it can override events that took place in moribund moments when all countries believed they had an agreement. Even a delay in appointment can derail ongoing investigations and regulatory efforts.
