Obama: Paris Climate Accord Best Possible Shot to 'Save' Planet
NBC News ^ | Oct. 5, 2016 | NBCNews and Reuters

Posted on 10/05/2016 2:02:08 PM PDT by Innovative

A sweeping global agreement to combat climate change by shifting the world economy away from fossil fuels will take force next month after passing a threshold for ratification on Wednesday with support from European nations.

President Obama, speaking from the Rose Garden, called the "Paris Agreement" potentially a "turning point" for our planet.

"This gives us the best possible shot to save the one planet we've got," Obama said. Addressing climate change has been a core goal for the president and netting the Paris climate deal is considered a critical part of his environmental policy legacy.

"One the reasons I took this office was to make America the leader in this mission," Obama said.

Support for the Paris Agreement has widened to nations representing 56.75 percent of world greenhouse gas emissions, above the 55 percent needed for implementation, a U.N. website showed. The deal will formally start in 30 days.

UN makes power play against Trump

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3477010/posts

“International governments have made a power play against Donald Trump by ratifying an international climate deal earlier than expected, effectively preventing him from “canceling” the deal as he has promised to do.  The European Union’s Tuesday decision to join the Paris climate deal will push the deal over the threshold for ratification; it will formally take effect in 30 days. 
That means Trump, should he be elected president in November, could not “cancel” or renegotiate the terms of the agreement.
President Obama committed the United States to reduce its emissions by 26 percent to 28 percent by 2025 as part of the deal. The agreement is nonbinding, so Trump would be free to ignore it if he wins the White House.”

The best way to save the planet would be to pack Obama off to Gitmo. And his ‘little dog-wife, too.’

In other words.... the meeting place has already been set in Paris , ready with false facts, graphs and charts containing completely falsified data, and scientists who receive grants and funding from the U.S. Government that will testify whatever I want them to. Plus it’ll be bonus time because Soros will be vacationing there and can send the commission check for getting you stupid fools to believe this complete bull$hit to me directly via courier....

Question— when did the U.S. Senate ratify this treaty to make it legally binding on America???

Or did Obama simply decree that America was going to support this???? So his decree is now good enough in matters of international treaties????

Evidence that when you move so far to the left, you move into the STUPID ZONE where you lose all sense of right and wrong, up or down, productive or destructive.

This total fraud has been working hard to DESTROY capitalism, freedom, and everything about the free Western world.

The accord does nothing: LA Times

Each (country) sets its own emissions targets and comes up with plans for meeting them.

The agreement does not include rigid timelines by which the goals must be met, nor does it make the goals binding under international law.


The next president will be bound by law to "set targets" and then report on whether or not they are being met. I'm pretty sure that won't be a problem for Trump. I'm also pretty sure it won't cause ANY country to actually do things. Unless Hillary gets elected and decides to act on her promises (not required by the accord) and kill our economy.

Hopefully, we shall have a Trump Administration, and it will withdraw the USA from the Paris Climate Accord.

All it is is a globalist means of wealth transfer. America First!!!!

If I'm not mistaken, without Congressional votes/approval, Obama signing this POS, means less than NOTHING at all.

And just WHAT are the UN and the EU going to do, when President Trump thumbs his nose at this? If the UN doesn't like it, President trump can just withhold what America pays into the UN and then it would fall apart. I don't see nay downside to this.

The FACTS consciously overlooked by the GRANT MONEY WHORES (aka "global warming experts" are these:

1. Most ALL of the so-called "greenhouse gas" is WATER VAPOR!  Unless someone has found a way to stop evaporation from the oceans, lakes, rivers and streams, the TRANSPIRATION from trees and other plants, that situation will be with us...all together now...FOREVER.

2. By photosynthesis, plants take in CO2 and give back the O2 humans and animals REQUIRE for life.  Reduce CO2 and plants perish.  Increased CO2 = more plant life, ergo MORE O2!  It's a rather stable balance.

3. One MAJOR volcanic eruption spews more vapor and other "greenhouse gases" into the atmosphere than MAN HAS PRODUCED SINCE MAN HAS BEEN ON THE PLANET!  I have yet to hear a serious legislative proposal BANNING VOLCANIC ERUPTIONS!!!

(I suggest these frantic "greenies" gather at the upper rim of the next major volcanic  outbreak to study the "problem" up close and personal.  Now THAT would solve many of our problems!)

There's a lot more but I think you get the idea!

With the alleged "collapse" of the Soviet Union and communism (they just changed their uniforms for business suits, wear their pistols concealed, studied English and came here), the political One World elites needed another boogieman with which to herd the great unwashed (that's us) into their New World Order corral.  Of the several options explored, GLOBAL WARMING won.  Now that IT may be failing, watch for the latest boogieman to be formally introduced.

If you want to understand how that works, reread "1984" by Orwell.  It's all laid out there.

No, the major element controlling our climates is the SUN.  "Global warming", "climate change" or whateverthehell new name these idiots and grant money whores come up with is how THEY seek to CONTROL ALL OF US!!

THE GREAT GLOBAL WARMING SWINDLE
