Time for the latest round of the White House and their fellow progressives around the world patting themselves on the backs for saving the planet from the hottest of doomsdays:
In written statement, @POTUS says HFC agreement to protect Ozone Layer will help "avoid up to 0.5°C of warming by the end of the century."

What, what?
Did he say "Celsius"? https://t.co/2tmH2yWOvl

Yep, Celsius:
Good news: Today, nearly 200 countries reached a global deal to phase down HFCs and avoid up to 0.5°C of warming: https://t.co/hrIsABSneT pic.twitter.com/j4G1ORrIII

Gee, that’s quite a potential future temperature swing they’re taking credit for preventing:
Wait.
Conversion shows 1/2 degree Celsius equals 32.9 degrees Fahrenheit of warmth prevention?#IceAge2? https://t.co/VVfK9bHNWP— Sandy 〽️ (@RightGlockMom) October 15, 2016
Update:
A correction has been noted, which makes all the expense even more baffling:
The actual temperature .5C is 32.9F. But a rise of 1 degree C would equal a rise of .9 degree F

Oh well, then.
Forgive me for asking
and THAT totally makes the billions in cost worth it
Why C and not F? (world consumption) https://t.co/vwbOyAnEMv— Sandy 〽️ (@RightGlockMom) October 15, 2016
Also, because it was preemptively prevented, there will be no way to prove they “saved” humanity from anything with the exception of relieving taxpayers of the burden of their money.
One thing’s for sure though: Obama leaving office will help lower emissions:
But, @POTUS flies AF1 along with ancillary planes all over the country to fundraise & campaign. Or 10+ car motorcade to golf
