When is a Treaty not A Treaty?

Obama and China’s President Xi Jinping on Saturday sealed their nations’ participation in last year’s Paris climate change agreement.
At a ceremony on the sidelines of a global economic summit, Mr. Obama and Xi, representing the world’s two biggest carbon emitters, delivered a series of documents to U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon. The papers certified the U.S. and China have taken the necessary steps to join the Paris accord that set nation-by-nation targets for cutting carbon emissions.
The formal U.S.-Chinese announcement means the accord could enter force by the end of the year, a faster than anticipated timeline.
The Paris deal is the world’s first comprehensive climate agreement, but it will only come into force legally after it is ratified by at least 55 countries, CBS Radio News reporter Shannon Van Sant reports from Hong Kong.
Li Shuo, Greenpeace’s senior climate policy adviser, called Saturday’s declarations “a very important next step.”
If the deal clears the final hurdles, he said, “we’ll have a truly global climate agreement that will bind the two biggest emitters in the world.”

There goes TRILLIONS to the Establishment of OUR MONEY!!
Null and Void.
We put on the handcuffs but China always has a stash key.
A deal with China is pointless. They probably started cheating even before the in was dry.
No force of law.
This is an informal agreement. Only Ratification by the Senate tranforms it to being formal.
US out of the UN
UN out of the US
When is a Treaty not A Treaty?
So....
We draw “red lines,” and then ignore them,
We make a “historic deal” that our “partner” Iran ignores,
And now we make a “deal” with China that we know they will ignore even as we shackle ourselves and damage our economy. (Read, “kill jobs.”)
Sounds good to me...
Obama = lawless douchbag
This is total BS. There is no way the US is the second biggest carbon emitter. Next to China and India we are Snow White.
Look at the smog hanging over China. I am not even sure there actually a U.S. City with smog like that.
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 sun’s 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?
I guess the treaty clause means nothing to the big-eared marxist occupier of the white hut.
Obama , China formally enter climate change deal ,
where’s Obama getting the money ,from his Stimulus Stash
signed by many, obeyed by none
Ratified by the Senate ? No ? After January 20th 2017 not worth the paper it’s written on.
It depends on whether Congress has authorized the president to act in their behalf in such an agreement.
Don’t treaties have to be ratified as per Constitution? Authorizing, even if they did, is authorizing a substitute?
(We must destroy Capitalism…Bolivian Climate delegation)
At a news conference last week in Brussels, Christiana Figueres, executive secretary of U.N.'s Framework Convention on Climate Change, admitted that the goal of environmental activists is not to save the world from ecological calamity but to destroy capitalism. "This is the first time in the history of mankind that we are setting ourselves the task of intentionally, within a defined period of time, to change the economic development model that has been reigning for at least 150 years, since the Industrial Revolution," she said.
Referring to a new international treaty environmentalists hope will be adopted at the Paris climate change conference later this year, she added: "This is probably the most difficult task we have ever given ourselves, which is to intentionally transform the economic development model for the first time in human history."
The only economic model in the last 150 years (Market Capitalism, Not Government, Made 2012 Best)
We are setting….to change the economic development model that has been reigning for at least 105 years. Christiana Figueres U.N. Climate Chief
Follow the money...look for new heavy taxes on energy....electric cars? For get about that.....or the Wind Farms...takes electricity...which takes coal...or water....Obama's private treasury continues to grow.
