PARIS (AP) -- Parts of a global climate agreement being hammered out in Paris should be legally binding, President Barack Obama said Tuesday. The declaration was a boost to climate negotiators seeking a tough accord and a challenge to Republican senators, many of whom don't believe that global warming is real.
Whether or not to make the climate accord legally binding is a major sticking point at the two-week talks in Paris, which aim to get all countries to agree to cut emissions that scientists say are warming the Earth and are increasing extreme weather such as droughts and floods.
Obama has spent months prodding other countries to make ambitious carbon-cutting pledges to the agreement, which he hopes will become the framework for countries to tackle the climate issue long beyond the end of his presidency in early 2017.

The deal with Iran, not so much.

He plans to give away as much of the United States and its assets as he possibly can.
If Mrs. Clinton becomes President, she will nominate Obama to the SC, where he will push to add climate change initiatives to the US Constitution.
If you want a binding treaty then comply with the Constitution and submit it to the Senate for confirmation.
We are not yet a third world dictatorship.
And this coming from a dip wad who refuses to be legally bound by anything
Does he propose criminal court proceedings? Civil suits? World court jurisdiction? Who prosecutes us if we break the “ law” and emit too much carbon? Burundi?
"He plans to give away as much of the United States and its assets as he possibly can." - I want the USA back
Indeed, funding WWIII is essential as his access and time at the taxpayer coffers is running out.
"Obama wants to accelerate the schedule so that WW3 will initiate on his watch, so that he can sabotage the West most effectively. I have no doubt the shoot down of the Russian jet was roughly coordinated between Obama and Erdogan. They want this to happen while Obama can scuttle our military, etc." - Matt Bracken

When a former attorney Marxist dictator tells you to sign a legal document he designed with the help of other Marxists there’s some hidden detail they want to get passed and the screws are about to be tightened. Count on it. The guy is a conman through and through...
Like world heritage sites? Agenda 21? They may bind his scrawny butt but they don’t/won’t bind me to squat. Well, except maybe the firing squad post for being a denier/skeptic.

Hint: An international deal that is legally binding is called a treaty. If Obama wants a climate treaty, he should negotiate a climate treaty and then send it to the Senate to see if two thirds of the Senators present will concur.
In other words, no. No legally binding treaty to eliminate a so-called pollutant that we all exhale with each breath we take.
We officially become a third world dictatorship if Our Glorious Leader refuses to leave at the end of his term.
Until then we have a Marxist wannabe dictator.
You realize of course that if the government is regulating carbon dioxide it is also regulating oxygen, since if yo increase the percentage of one in the atmosphere then you necessarily reduce the percentage of the other.
For some reason, regulating carbon dioxide does not sound quite as stupid as regulating oxygen, but either way it is the same thing. Taxing air.
{”We are not yet a third world dictatorship.”}
Just a little more time.....we will be....he’s got a little over a year....
Obama preaching to others about legality is like Moochie Obama preaching to us about healthy diets while she is snorking down Kobe steaks, buttered lobster and maga-cheesburgers with the giganto-size french fries.
If the Obamas’ evil dark ways weren’t so damaging to America, in their own they would be almost as entertaining as the Clintons were back in their Blue Dress Period.
But what the Clintons did (and do) out of simple personal greed and lust for flesh and power the Obamas do out of hate, spite and ordinary meanness.
Except on him, of course, as he emits literally tons of pollution to attend.
