Nicaragua was one of the final holdouts on rodin and eroticism lucas faugeresigning the Paris Agreement on climate change, but after seeing other countries deal with devastating natural disasters, the country is joining the deal.

Recent hurricanes battering the Caribbean and U.S. come to mind. Climate studies indicate that hurricane impacts, including storm surge flooding and heavy rainfall, are already worsening due to human-caused global warming.
As the world continues to warm, hurricanes are expected to contain stronger winds as well, and may be more prone to periods of rapid intensification. So far this season, the U.S. has been hit by three Category 4 hurricanes, which is unprecedented since reliable records began in the late 19th century.
The World Resource Institute's climate program global director Paula Caballero said we should be celebrating that Nicaragua is on board. In a phone call she said it sends a "powerful message for the two countries" refusing to get involved. Though Syria is dealing with a long, devastating military conflict, so climate treaties aren't a top priority right now.
She acknowledged Nicaragua has been "committed to tackling climate change" and already working on lowering its dependence on carbon. By signing the agreement, she said the country can only improve its climate impact and economy.
Now let's see if Donald Trump notices that the only other country not part of the deal is in the middle of a civil war.
