I think not, and that's why Obama has instructed the EPA to also attempt the end around ... he so craves that Marxist control.

U.S. formally embraces Copenhagen climate deal Photo 4:24pm EST
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The United States on Thursday formally notified the United Nations that it has embraced the Copenhagen Accord setting nonbinding goals for reducing greenhouse gas emissions that was negotiated last month.
Todd Stern, the top U.S. climate negotiator for the Obama administration, also gave notice that, as expected, it will aim for a 17 percent reduction in emissions of carbon dioxide and other gases blamed for global warming by 2020, with 2005 as the base year.

He took a bribe.
A Presidential suicide mission.
Maybe he is just following orders from the real powers.
It’s hard to belive he could actually be that stupid. But, then again, he IS a leftist.
After SOTU, just because TOTUS goes that direction doesn’t necessarily mean that the sheep will follow. We have yet to see what his flailing will really mean.
I think not, and that's why Obama has instructed the EPA to also attempt the end around ... he so craves that Marxist control.
all
the best way to embrace the climate change would be to reduce CO2 by smothering every liberal/progressive/statist in the USA>
Americans screwed over by their own government, again.
Beck was right, their foot is going to hit the pedal and mash the thing into the dirt.
Ummm.....when did the Senate ratify this treaty? I missed it.
Oh, I see you, too, caught on to H1N1?
The Obama Administration must be acting pursuant to the Embrace Clause of Article II.
"Nonbinding" my a$$. Federal agencies will enforce commitments measures against American citizens; so how is that different from "binding," seeing as virtually every nation committed to Kyoto has failed to meet its commitment?
China To Spend Over $1 Trillion On New Power Generation In This Decade
China will be the world leader in power plant purchases during the 2010-20 period.It will spend more than $1 trillion to expand its generating capacity.This is the latest McIlvaine forecast based on data appearing in four McIlvaine online reports.The largest expenditure will be for new coal-fired power plants.
Over 300 coal projects are in the planning stage.It is estimated that 75 percent of them will be constructed prior to 2020.This results in 300,000 MW of new capacity.A large number of nuclear plants are in the planning stages but only 43 percent are likely to be operating by 2020. This will create an additional 60,000 MW of base load capacity.
Any nuclear project not already in the planning stage will not be operating in 2020.However, there will be a number of new coal plants which are not yet planned but can be built prior to 2020.There will be many wind and solar projects which are not yet planned which will be operating before the end of the decade.
Oil and gas will represent a small portion of new generating capacity.There is a very ambitious wind program with estimates of new capacity as high as 190,000 MW.If 53 percent of this ambitious goal is reached by 2020, it will add 100,000 MW.However, the utilization rate is less than half that of a coal plant.So the contribution to total electricity generation in kWh is going to be only one-sixth of that supplied by the new coal plants.
There are some very large solar projects in the planning stage.However, the total amount of projected new capacity is small compared to the total new demand.
China’s ability to manufacture power plant equipment has expanded significantly.China is becoming a technical leader in wind power.It is building ultra-super critical coal-fired boilers with mostly Chinese built components.Many Chinese component suppliers are now meeting the requirements of the nuclear industry.Much of the cost of new capacity is the construction which is all local.The end result is that revenues for offshore suppliers will be about 15 percent of the total expenditures.
This forecast is based on the following McIlvaine reports:

Something gives me the idea the 0bamaturd doesn’t even seem interested in running for a second term. He mission... that goal for which he lives, eat, sleeps and breathes, is simply to place the United States onto a course to national suicide. Not a day goes by in which this marxist POS signs a document, makes a commitment, hires a czar or promulgates a presidential decree of which the result will be causing lasting damage to this nation. November 2012 can’t come soon enough. That bastard has go to go. I frankly don’t care how, either.
This is totally meaningless. Unless congress acts to enforce this treaty in some way, Obama has no ability to make these reductions in greenhouse gases. This is just another symbolic gesture to show political elites that he has “done something”.
Of course we do.
There is no evidence for Global Warming - so obviously it’s happening.
There is tons of evidence that “researchers” lied to the public - but that’s not worth investigating.
What happened at Davos? After the security guy was offed?
Lucky that they made it onto the Titanic just in time.
Dammit; Long day here; I need to edit first.
“He mission” = “His mission”
and
“Not a day goes by in which this marxist POS signs a document”
should read:
“Not a day goes by in which this marxist POS doesn’t sign a document...”
