Obama’s Strategy on Climate Change, Part of Global Deal, Is Revealed ( Executive Action)
The New York Times ^ | 3/31/2015 | CORAL DAVENPORT

WASHINGTON — The White House on Tuesday introduced President Obama’s blueprint for cutting greenhouse gas emissions in the United States by nearly a third over the next decade.

Mr. Obama’s plan, part of a formal written submission to the United Nations ahead of efforts to forge a global climate change accord in Paris in December, detailed the United States’ part of an ambitious joint pledge made by Mr. Obama and President Xi Jinping of China in November.

The United States and China are the world’s two largest greenhouse gas polluters. Mr. Obama said the United States would cut its emissions by 26 to 28 percent by 2025, while Mr. Xi said that China’s emissions would drop after 2030.

Mr. Obama’s new blueprint brings together several domestic initiatives that were already in the works, including freezing construction of new coal-fired power plants, increasing the fuel economy of vehicles and plugging methane leaks from oil and gas production. It is meant to describe how the United States will lead by example and meet its pledge for cutting emissions.

Fine, keep it up Obama.

You are laying the ground work for when Cruz takes over and starts governing by executive order!

Does this mean the US can build new nuclear power plants or does obama only trust the Iranians with nuclear power? Sarc/

Well, he’s not hamstrung by the law like those other sucker Presidents before him.

But it’s not his fault, it’s Congress’s fault 100%. Just like Pontius Pilate tried to say it wasn’t him yet couldn’t wash the blame away, so it is with Congress. They can act like it’s not their responsibility, swear they had no choice, but they’re just like Pilate, putting politics ahead of what’s right.

“Mr. Obama said the United States would cut its emissions by 26 to 28 percent by 2025, while Mr. Xi said that China’s emissions would drop after 2030.”

Notice America will cut emissions by 2025 but China’s will drop after 2030. 2035? 2040? When?

If the cost of energy is driven high enough, it will become economically feasible to support a human being at sustenance level in exchange for their labor, i.e., slavery. That is the goal. If the common man can be denied mechanized energy, he can be enslaved.

“A benevolent dictator would be better than this traitor”

I have absolutely no doubt that the Chinese leadership has the progress of China and its citizens as its #1 priority, ahead of everyone and everything else, and rightly so. They, of course, are Communists.

It is not about greenhouse gasses. If that were so, Algore would fly commercial and live in a 2000 square ft. house.

It is about reducing USA’s gross domestic product and enriching crony capitalists by buying from their green energy initiatives.

Congress should have impeached him with his first criminal act, instead of using his dictatorial over reach as an issue to campaign on. They love their political perch more than they love the country, thus are as guilty of dereliction of duty as Obama is.

As for the nine cadavers on the Supreme Court, they should be moved to the nearest mortuary where they can be dusted off every now and then. If they can’t rule on taking freedom from the citizens, they don’t do anything.
