Four states–California, Connecticut, Washington and Oregon have joined together to form the United States Climate Alliance. The objective is to bypass Trump’s decision and implement the terms of the Paris Accord on climate.
California was the first to take action by ratifying a separate climate pact with China. “We had to pick a side,” Gov. Jerry Brown (D) declared. “Looking at the options we determined that Trump is the greater threat. So we made our own deal with China.” The deal reportedly will increase the importation of “green technologies” manufactured in China. The irony is that Chinese factories are among the world’s worst polluters. Brown said he is “not concerned” because “most of the Chinese pollutants are heavy metals, noxious chemicals, and soot particles—all of which, I am told by experts, will tend to have a cooling effect on global temperatures. And any health consequences from their emissions are likely to be predominately local in nature.”
In Chicago, Mayor Rahm Emanuel signed an executive order committing the City to abide by the provisions of the Paris Accord that President Trump rejected. “President Trump is wrong,” Emanuel insisted. “The trillions of dollars and millions of American jobs that abiding by this agreement will cost are necessary to reduce the projected 0.3° rise in temperature by the year 2100.” The Mayor said he is “confident that federal welfare programs will adequately offset the impacts of Chicagoans thrown out of work by adherence to my order.”
Whether Emanuel confidence that the feds will buffer his city’s residents from negative economic repercussions is warranted seems dubious. Trump’s proposed budget asks for considerably less in welfare spending compared to the trend of increases from a continuation of the Obama years. White House Deputy Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders emphasized that “the President’s promise was to put Americans back to work. Democrats who hope to buy votes from their welfare clientele shouldn’t count on federal money to subsidize idleness.”

Didn’t we BEG Red states to do this during obummers’ reign?
Enforce their own immigration laws, etc.
Seems like blue states have NO qualms about doing it.
Are they more fervent in their beliefs, though misguided, than our leader are?
Too funny. china is in it to sell stuff to whoever yet is exempt from any and all laws of the Pact.
The United Except For California States of America
So these 4 states are choosing to go beyond broke and into debt they can’t possibly pay back in order to effect what amounts to zero change in the environment but will transfer any wealth their states and citizens may have had to give to other countries who will gladly accept the money and laugh at the stupid Americans for giving it to them with no strings attached?
Alrighty then; got it.
No one does stupid like leftists.
No states shall enter into a treaty without the consent of congress. Article 1.
Evening, John.
Already broke states
“We had to pick a side,” Gov. Jerry Brown (D) declared. Why do you always go for the wrong side?
