Climate Madness: Obama Pledges 28% Emissions Cut To U.N.
Investor's Business Daily ^ | April 1, 2015 | IBD EDITORIALS

Climate Change: President Obama's proposal to cut U.S. emissions by 28% over 10 years as America's contribution to a global climate treaty will devastate our economy while doing nothing to reduce temperatures.

The "Clean Power Plan" that the Obama administration submitted Tuesday to the United Nations Framework on Climate Change met an end-of-March deadline for contributions to a treaty in the final stages of negotiations.

But the proposal, known to climate negotiators as an Intended Nationally Determined Contribution, isn't new. Obama announced the goal of reducing emissions by 28% below 2005 levels by 2025 as part of a joint climate pledge that he made in Beijing last November with Chinese President Xi Jinping.

It remains, however, a dangerous sacrifice of U.S. progress and economic freedom on the altar of the climate change religion.

Obama hopes to achieve his pointless goal by formalizing his war on coal and truly affordable energy. The irony here is that the free market at work on private lands has produced a natural gas boom through the use of fracking on our vast domestic shale formations. It has done more to reduce so-called greenhouse gas emissions than any U.N. treaty or presidential edict.

The only way we get a 28% reduction in emissions is when we all go on the Adkins diet.

And if we don’t reach 28% the UN will be very angry with us.
They will write us a letter telling us how angry they are.

More USA jobs will go out of our country because of the higher cost of energy.
