Some legacy...announcing a dramatic solution to a non-problem.

Ironically, I think they are right. The capstone in his efforts to destroy our industrial base, to the benefit of our enemies (which are not his).

It requires no congressional approval because it doesn’t actually mean anything.

Chuck keeps his head pretty far up Obola’s butt, doesn’t he?

So if I get this right, Obama's legacy is the weather?

Not bad for $16,000,000,000,000. Although the weather app is for free on my cell phone.

What win? It was unilateral at best. We cut emissions. They keep on as they have.

Since China isn’t going to do much, how is cutting our energy consumption by 30% going to help the US economy? Oh, sure, there may be efficiencies to be had, and its true that CO2 isn’t an exact proxy for energy consumption (there’s wind, after all), but basically Obama is saying he’s going to cut the economy by roughly 25% to please the green crowd, and do it despite Congress.

I guess his plan is to just make energy hideously expensive (he can’t ration it). That won’t have any adverse consequences, right?

PS—whichever leftist nut the Dems run in 2016—Hillary or Lizzie, or whomever—will have to support this as his legacy, or try running against Obama, who is from their own party.

They can’t even unsmog Beijing or unpollute the Yangtze. And they’re being asked to do what.

Words became a win? Whatever they’re taking, I want some.

What an idiot he is...or he thinks we are idiots to believe this is some great deal.

If I was China I’d agree to it too: I can keep increasing my emissions until 2030? For free? It required nothing from me to do so? Why the heck Wouldn’t I sign? Meanwhile, Odumber offers to handicap my[China] greatest rival[the US] with stupid economy stifling rules!

Its a win win for China...and a lose lose for the US.

Way to go Zero. Ya dumb f**k.

Obozo will be gone in two years, hopefully less. He has zero influence on the next president to carry through on his pledge to wreak havoc on the U.S. economy with his grandiose pledge to cut greenhouse gases by 28%, when we are the only nation to have cut them so far, and China has only nodded and grinned watching him destroy our manufacturing base.

On the other hand, they can play a horribly gullible, narcissistic rube (i.e. Obama) like a cheap violin.

I heard this on NPR this morning and noticed the China action date was five years later than ours.
