China and the United States ratified the Paris agreement to cut climate-warming emissions on Saturday, marking a major step toward the enactment of the pact as early as the end of the year and setting the stage for other countries to follow suit.
The world's two biggest emitters of greenhouse gases made the landmark announcement as heads of state from the Group of 20 biggest economies, or G20, arrived for a summit in the city of Hangzhou, parts of which resembled a ghost town as Chinese security locked down the area.

They didn’t. Which is why I posted it. If McConnell’s not on every news program tomorrow morning, the fix is in.

Nobody “ratified” anything. The president can negotiate treaties with the advice and consent of the senate. No consent, no ratification.

I guess this is the one where China promised to start reducing greenhouse gas emissions thirty years from now and US starts limiting emissions now.

The Paris agreement is just another step to the global government ,it has nothing to do with the Fake Global Warming

Obama probably brought $50 billion in cash on an unmarked plane for Ban Ki-moon
To: Dilbert San Diego
It’s just a show....Obama wants the idea that he signed “something” regarding Global Waring in his legacy...nothing more than a photo opportunity....everybody knows it means nothing.

These people are idiots.
Somebody needs to tell them that the US Senate must ratify treaties.
Presidents can’t.
I guess Kenyanesian Usurpers can, though since they can’t really be President.

OK!! Everybody pay attention!
Lesson for today:
1. The sun is 1,300,000 times as big as the earth.
2. The sun is a giant nuclear furnace that controls the climates of all its planets.
3. The earth is one of the suns planets.
4. The earth is a speck in comparison to the size of the sun.
5. Inhabitants of the earth are less than specks.
Study Question: How do less-than-specks in congress plan to control the sun?
