LE BOURGET, France — With the sudden bang of a gavel Saturday night, representatives of 195 countries reached a landmark climate accord that will, for the first time, commit nearly every country to lowering planet-warming greenhouse gas emissions to help stave off the most drastic effects of climate change.
Delegates who have been negotiating intensely in this Paris suburb for two weeks gathered for the final plenary session, where Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius of France asked for opposition to the deal and, hearing none, declared it approved.
With that, the delegates achieved what had been unreachable for two decades: a consensus on the need to shift from carbon-based fuels and a road map for the 195 nations to do so.

No, a few dozen elite endorse this fantasy. Not NATIONS who would be best served with new leadership.
This is designed to benefit al gore and his cronies
Will the Senate bend over and ratify this abominable treaty?
A “Going Out of Business” sign is a form of landmark....
The anti-human accord designed to enslave humanity and the survivors except for the ruling elite.
“Will the Senate bend over and ratify this abominable treaty?”......
Ye of little faith, OF COURSE THEY WILL, they are idiots.
What are the chances of seeing the elitist morons who all signed this claptrap riding around in environmentally-friendly armored limousines?
Hold on to your wallets...
I already pay high electric bills with AZ Public Service...can only imagine how much higher my bill will go as a result.
There! Fixed it.
Bandar-log is a term used in Rudyard Kipling’s The Jungle Book to describe the monkeys of the Seeonee jungle. In Hindi, Bandar means “monkey” (possibly the gray langur) and log means “people” - Therefore, “Bandar-log” means “monkey people.” The term has also since come to refer to “any body of irresponsible chatterers.”
The Bandar-log in Paris has spoken on the weather.
Algore can’t wait to make his first 10 Billion dollars on Carbon Credits
I haven’t looked up what “landmark” means in quite sometime.
I didn’t realize we switched to global rule already..../s
More feel-good posturing by the Watermelons.
What a crock!
Just more of the same old s*it
I’d like to say I feel an American Revolution moment coming on, but my fear is that it will be more of the French variety.
These elites better plan their escape now.
I would say any financial penalties for developed nations in this agreement should be offset by:
A. a proper fee per illegal and legal immigrant who became dependent on the state, multiplied by the years they’ve been there; for the US, the cost of taking care of Mexico and Central America’s poor wipes out any fees
B. an offset for the lower cost of production in nations that aren’t bound by rules that raise energy prices, so we get to put a 200% tax on China’s and other developing nations products; there is no point in giving them money when subsidizing their economy, too
C. enforced population control on the developing world, such as sending in these bureaucrats to India, Africa and the Middle East and imposing a one child rule in nations that say they are too poor to move people a mile inland or build a few more power plants with air conditioning; it should be a requirement for all forms of welfare, if you can’t take care of yourself, you cannot be allowed more children
I live in Maricopa, where we have a monopoly with Electrical District #3. Bills in summer are about $550 without a pool, which is higher than we had in Scottsdale WITH a pool (both APS and SRP). Congress better shut this sh!t down.
