PARIS (AP) -- Parts of a global climate agreement being hammered out in Paris should be legally binding, President Barack Obama said Tuesday. The declaration was a boost to climate negotiators seeking a tough accord and a challenge to Republican senators, many of whom don't believe that global warming is real.
Whether or not to make the climate accord legally binding is a major sticking point at the two-week talks in Paris, which aim to get all countries to agree to cut emissions that scientists say are warming the Earth and are increasing extreme weather such as droughts and floods.
Obama has spent months prodding other countries to make ambitious carbon-cutting pledges to the agreement, which he hopes will become the framework for countries to tackle the climate issue long beyond the end of his presidency in early 2017.

First prove Global Warming ,Hmmm is this why they never take it to court ,it’s impossible to prove ? That 13 year old lost her case
He would. He has no clue that he's out of his mumbling depth, and I hope the adults in Europe have caught on enough to simply ignore him. Saying "it's the right thing to do" is meaningless when your level of ignorance is that low.
As with his "widows and orphans "debacle," he has no clue what he's talking about.
Whatever climate change is being conjured up today is peanuts compared to the deaths and famines of "climate change" of the last 1000 years.
All of it recorded. As in written accounts, for the benefit of the progressive voter base....*

Says the lawless (p)Resident.
Trump will simply DISAVOW any agreements made by Obama. Cruz might...but he also respects this country’s ‘obligations’.
That’s why I support Trump over Cruz.
Both the climate deal and the Iran deal should be resubmitted by the next president as treaties so the Senate can reject them.
I, for one, have no problem with making it legally binding...on Obama.
Treaties, pursuant to the Constitution, or some such. I’m sure ‘The Nutty Professor’ remembers SOMETHING in that RE:
Exactly my first thought.
Too bad that an impeachment effort would destroy the country via urban riots.
The Country is going to be destroyed either way. So why not start the impeachment process? I will tell you why, both political Parties, the Republicans and Democrats, approve what Obama is doing. Not only do they approve what he is doing, each Party is doing everything in its own way to aid and abet him. Since both Parties approve, it follows that both Houses of Congress approve.
For me, I am still willing to fight over the EPA emission standards on vehicles. The cars being built are marvels of engineering, especially given the restrictions on weight, mileage and emissions. I would like to see what would be built without all the artificial crap from the regulators. About this climate change thingy, it is worth fighting and dying for if you asked my honest opinion. If we ever lose to the carbon thieves, the world will fall under the darkness of oppression like we cannot conceive of in our spoiled lives. The tyrants attempting to rob people in perpetuity, will consign us as Americans to the same fate as the lowly Mexican refugee, membership in a permanent underclass.
