Stupid and ignorant and corrupt individuals creating a worthless deal. Only to create a way for a few to get rich of the efforts of many.

Loud applause erupted in the conference hall outside of Paris after French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius gaveled the agreement Saturday. Some delegates started crying. Others embraced. Many had orgasms.

Governments have adopted a global climate pact that for the first time asks all countries to limit their greenhouse gas emissions.


So, is that like a cop ASKING me to not speed?

Yeah, ok...

the U.S. wants the word “shall” changed to “should”
The difference between “shall” and “should”.

Shall: Don’t do it or else.
Should: Don’t do it or we will be very put out.

That tells me that this “deal” is not legally binding...


Well, whatever part of the deal it’s referring to is not legally binding. The wording was interesting. I get the feeling there may be a lot of “shall’s” and one “should”.

Like money raised for natural disasters most countries will pledge then never do anything of substance. Once again a bad deal negotiated by the stupid people in our government.

So, it asks for reductions? My answer is a big ‘Hell, NO’! Thanks for asking. These third-world freeloaders will not stop until The West mirrors their hellhole homelands. Time for impeachment proceeding to begin.

“Governments have adopted a global agreement that for the first time asks...”

Meanwhile an agreement was reached through a consensus of opinion by the populations most affected by those at the meeting to reply as follows: No. Nein. Het. Ne. ...

Impeccably dressed mobsters, buying and selling each other's nation's citizens like cattle under a cloak of play-science nonsense to befuddle the masses.

The shalls will make it legally binding and therefore, make it a treaty. To me, making a “deal” with 190 other nations IS a treaty with or without the wording. Obama should be impeached, NOW! He has broken the law and violated the U.S. Constitution. As long as the DemocRATS and their judges continue their social engineering by finding things they want and do not want as being constitutional or unconstitutional, the Constitution is still in effect and IS NOT an “old obsolete piece of paper” as some of the buffoons in the state controlled “media” are now claiming. We can’t let them have it both ways.

To: Dave346; All
Thank you for referencing that article Dave346. Please bear in mind that the following critique is directed at the article and not at you.

Regarding the PC climate change treaty pact, I get the impression that it is no more binding on the US than Obamas Iraq deal. Corrections welcome.

As a reminder to patriots, consider that Congress cannot approve a treaty if it gives Congress the power to do things that the states have never delegated to Congress, expressly via the Constitution, the specific power to do.

In fact, based on his experience as vice president and president of the Senate, Thomas Jefferson had essentially clarified that the Senate cannot use its power to negotiate treaties as a way for Congress to bypass the Article V amendment process to create new powers for itself.

A more important example concerning limits on treaty powers comes from a previous generation of state sovereignty-respecting justices. In fact, the Court reflected on Jeffersons words, clarifying that Congress cannot use its power to negotiate treaties as a way to bypass its constitutionally limited powers.

” 2. Insofar as Art. 2(11) of the Uniform Code of Military Justice provides for the military trial of civilian dependents accompanying the armed forces in foreign countries, it cannot be sustained as legislation which is "necessary and proper" to carry out obligations of the United States under international agreements made with those countries, since no agreement with a foreign nation can confer on Congress or any other branch of the Government power which is free from the restraints of the Constitution [emphasis added].” - Reid v. Covert, 1956.

My influence is limited to that which is within or at arms length. Beside the fact that I have been conditioned to abide by the dictates of the laws instituted by those who are impeccably dressed who hold themselves in high esteem. /s

I can’t imagine anyone intends to pay; they’ll swap worthless paper and raise the standards of the ruling classes in the Third World dumps - and that will be all. These wealth transfers from civilized nations to barbaric backwaters have gone on for more than half a century, and done nothing for them. There are still billions of non-white palms outstretched to the dwindling white population; what will they do when those white populations are no longer there?

Would a Senegalese president of France even entertain the notion of sending French wealth to Africa? From the way the educated portions of those populations treat their poor masses now, I doubt it.

While they work tirelessly on what might be the problems of the 22nd century, real 21st century problems boil out of control.
