The Paris agreement is non-binding and voluntary. It had to be, to avoid being deemed a treaty which had to pass through Congress. How does it take 3 years to exist a non-binding, voluntary agreement?

I don’t care how he does it, just DO IT. My nails are down to the quick already. This is the one enormous thing that he personally can do which might prompt a return to sanity. It would certainly save America’s bacon in terms of energy costs and competitiveness and, hopefully, will set a precedent for others, such as our idiotic PM in Australia (although the best thing to be hoped forin his case is his ouster as he’s a true believer - or a globalist).

Obama signed it so we are going to pretend that was binding. Pass a law then ignore it, don't pass a law and follow it anyway. Pretty cool the way that works.

Andrew McCarthy wrote an oped talking about article 18 of the Treaty on Treaties and Rush highlighted it today. Turns out the Treaty on Treaties has not been ratified either. Doesn't mean we are not acting like it has been ratified though. You probably thought your government was not watching out for you.
