Doesn’t the Senate still have to ratify treaties?

Yes, but he will probably go for some kind of ‘accord’ or the like. Ultimately unenforceable.

Yes the senate does and it has to be 2/3rds to pass, I believe. I wonder if he is doing this outside of a treaty, like an executive order? If so, congress can nullify any executive order and has done so in the past.

In any case, China is by far the biggest CO2 producer and polluter so if the greenies want to make a huge impact, they should bring manufacturing back to the USA! We have better environmental controls so bring it back!

Not since the Congress abdicated their responsibilities by transferring their powers to write laws to the Bureaucracy.
