Why don’t you wish with one hand, Chuck, as you and the rest of the beltway boys fantasize about your hero.
But you’ll have to take a dump in the other.
And we’ll see which hand gets full first.
I wish he was only horribly gullible and narcissistic. He’d do less harm.
Its my understanding that China doesn’t “Cut” anything “drastically by 2030”, only “peak” in 2030.
The US, however would have to cut drastically to 2005 levels.
Based on current growth rate, by 2030, CO2 output from China will be 2X or 3X US output.
Worst. Legacy. Ever.
That is what the MIT professor said, laughingly.
Chuck Todd.....you gotta be kidding us, or you are the dumbest fool in the universe. The PRC and the Russian Federation have worked Obama like a puppet and the entire world is laughing at the USA!!! Todd.....you been smoking too much reefer with Al Sharpton on MSNBC as it crumbles into the dust of history, forever!!! One word for you, chuck todd....IDIOT!!!
As mentioned in related threads, the MAJOR constitutional problem with federal climate control is that the states have never amended the Constitution to grant the feds the power to deal with climate control issues.
So in the absence of express constitutional authority to deal with climate issues, lawless Obama is wrongly trying to use his constitutional power to negotiate treaties as a back door to force federal climate control on the states. The problem is that using treaty power to unconstitutonally expand federal government powers has already been condemned by both Thomas Jefferson and the Supreme Court as evidenced by the following excerpts.
“In giving to the President and Senate a power to make treaties, the Constitution meant only to authorize them to carry into effect, by way of treaty, any powers they might constitutionally exercise.” —Thomas Jefferson: The Anas, 1793.
“Surely the President and Senate cannot do by treaty what the whole government is interdicted from doing in any way.” — Thomas Jefferson: Parliamentary Manual, 1812 .
“2. Insofar as Art. 2(11) of the Uniform Code of Military Justice provides for the military trial of civilian dependents accompanying the armed forces in foreign countries, it cannot be sustained as legislation which is “necessary and proper” to carry out obligations of the United States under international agreements made with those countries, since no agreement with a foreign nation can confer on Congress or any other branch of the Government power which is free from the restraints of the Constitution [emphasis added].” — Reid v. Covert, 1956 .

Of course. We hamstring our economy by cutting emissions now and China promises to start cutting in 15 years. What could possibly go wrong??
His solipsistic petulance coupled with a nasty vindictive streak are what make him dangerous.
Not surprising that Chuck Toady didn’t explain that China had to basically not change their behavior at all. They can keep increasing their coal fired plant emissions while we will bring ours offline.
Sounds like Obama’s idea of “success”.
America for her size is among those countries with the cleanest air....China on the other hand for her size is wayyyyy behind the rest of the world. Wonder how badly BHO was out smarted by the little slant eyes......again.
EXACTLY. How China calculates CO2 can be highly skewed and subject ot interpretation. Plus, verificatin will be near to impossible in a country that may or may not account for all combustion sources.
On the other hand, how better to weaken your enemy by limiting their industrial output via imposed emissions limits.
Obola is the master of stupidity.
Here is the aggreement:
Today, the Presidents of the United States and China announced their respective post-2020 actions on climate change, recognizing that these actions are part of the longer range effort to transition to low-carbon economies, mindful of the global temperature goal of 2℃. The United States intends to achieve an economy-wide target of reducing its emissions by 26%-28% below its 2005 level in 2025 and to make best efforts to reduce its emissions by 28%. China intends to achieve the peaking of CO2 emissions around 2030 and to make best efforts to peak early and intends to increase the share of non-fossil fuels in primary energy consumption to around 20% by 2030. Both sides intend to continue to work to increase ambition over time.
The US has to make cuts by 2025 (to 2005 levels), while china doesn't have to make any cuts until 2030, at which point they can stay at 2030 levels.
Good Deal! Close clean US coal plants and crank out dirty Chinese coal plants.
Pure evil in our face with NBC acting as chief accomplice. Certainly the higher power bills will delight the public.
History strongly suggests that he got groomed for this role, perhaps even decades ago.
He’s an obedient figurehead, not a free agent. If he were a free agent there would be hope.
Evil self hatred.
Any company effected by rules that are created through this “agreement” should sue the Obama administration, starting with the fact that THIS never was ratified through the U.S. Senate.
Hmm...that would put it into the second Clinton administration. Chelsea's. ;-)
