WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The United States on Thursday formally notified the United Nations that it has embraced the Copenhagen Accord setting nonbinding goals for reducing greenhouse gas emissions that was negotiated last month.

Todd Stern, the top U.S. climate negotiator for the Obama administration, also gave notice that, as expected, it will aim for a 17 percent reduction in emissions of carbon dioxide and other gases blamed for global warming by 2020, with 2005 as the base year.

Lucky that they made it onto the Titanic just in time. AGW (or at least IPCC) is sinking. See these blogs.

Not going to happen. The Obama Administration keeps on digging. High five!

“embracing”, eh...

Brings to mind the lyrics made famous by Steppenwolf:

“Take the world in a love embrace”

global warming ping

Question — if the U.S. Senate does not ratify a treaty with CO2 restrictions, does Obama’s action have any legal standing?

Has “embracing” a dumb international treaty replaced the Senate having to vote on it?

Next, will Nancy and Harry “embrace” Obamacare?

Gee, ya think zerO knew last night this was planned? Along with increasing the debt ceiling by almost 2 TRILLION?

"I know that there are those who disagree with the overwhelming scientific evidence on climate change."

Nevertheless, we must all agree on the importance of reducing our economic output by 95%.

I think that he can issue executive orders to the EPA to do certain things, but what the limit on that would be is anyone’s guess. The next administration could revoke any of his silly ass orders.
A senate ratified treaty would be very bad news.

Thass why he increased the EPA budget by 35% after he took office, and put a stupid but radical ideologue, Lisa Jackson, in charge as EPA administrator.

Watch for lots more EPA “regulations”, regulatory “fees” and WH executive orders, a series of edicts will replace Congress having to vote on Cap’n tax.

"if the U.S. Senate does not ratify a treaty with CO2 restrictions, does Obama’s action have any legal standing"

In the end, it really doesn't matter.

The Messiah and the communist bunch of Czars are ruling the country now. The EPA will put the rules out, as they have already "declared" CO2 to be a hazard. Their regulations don't need Congressional approval, and neither does any other Czar's order.
