Aside from the obvious absurdity of hundreds of elitists flying to Paris for 2 weeks to tell the rest of humanity to cut back on their energy use and to reduce their standard of living, the Paris climate conference of 2015 re-emphasized the fallacious premise of the climate change agenda. My climate history blog shows how foolish it is to ignore history. It's even more foolish to revise history, as NOAA has been doing when it "adjusts" historical temperatures in its effort to show the planet is warming faster than it actually is.
I don't think any actual science supports the theory of catastrophic anthropogenic global warming (CAGW) that the Paris conference was based on. It's purely an ideological effort, supported by big business and big government, who cooperate to fuel the dupes in the environmental movement.
On the science, here's another summary by Matt Ridley:

"The climate change debate has been polarized into a simple dichotomy. Either global warming is“real, man-made and dangerous,” as Pres. Barack Obama thinks, or it’s a “hoax,” as Oklahoma Sen. James Inhofe thinks. But there is a third possibility: that it is real, man-made and not dangerous, at least not for a long time.
"This “lukewarm” option has been boosted by recent climate research, and if it is right, current policies may do more harm than good. For example, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations and other bodies agree that the rush to grow biofuels, justified as a decarbonization measure, has raised food prices and contributed to rainforest destruction. Since 2013 aid agencies such as the U.S. Overseas Private Investment Corporation, the World Bank and the European Investment Bank have restricted funding for building fossil-fuel plants in Asia and Africa; that has slowed progress in bringing electricity to the one billion people who live without it and the four million who die each year from the effects of cooking over wood fires."
