We governors are going to step into this cockpit and fly the plane,

Sounds like they will be producing even more global warming with all of that plane flying.

[nopardons]

Class Action law suits, by the populace, should ensue, but sadly, probably won't.

Businesses WILL leave and so will the people with enough money to do so.

These libtard governors are insane.

[Olog-hai]

Typical of climate activists to fly those carbon-spewing planes.

Three Democratic governors said Thursday they won’t let the United States back away from a commitment to reduce greenhouse gas emissions

Whatever - it's not up to them and they know it. This is simply empty posturing to make the useful idiots of the Left feel that they have some way of resisting the fact that the US is no longer crippling itself for the enviro-cultists. There is no substance to such statements.

[RightGeek]

They planning on sending a lot of their citizens money to Turd World pest holes?

Liberals are more upset Trump quit the Paris Accord than they were over the Manchester bombing. Let that sink in

[EQAndyBuzz]

Yay. More businesses moving to Texas.

Section 10 ... 3: No State shall, without the Consent of Congress, lay any Duty of Tonnage, keep Troops, or Ships of War in time of Peace, enter into any Agreement or Compact with another State, or with a foreign Power, or engage in War, unless actually invaded, or in such imminent Danger as will not admit of delay.

I'd LIKE to tell my governor to take a flying leap, but I'm stuck in WA state.

If he comes a knocking on my door to raise taxes, well, I will tell him in much more colorful language.

I already pay enough in taxes.

[EDINVA]

Oh, how many people would LOVE to leave those states. I have family still living in NY and they can’t wait to hit retirement age and leave NYS behind.

I'd LIKE to tell my governor to take a flying leap, but I'm stuck in WA state.

Dixy Lee Ray would have approved of Trump's actions.

[Ray76]

Also U.S. Const. art. I, § 10, cl. 3 “No State shall, without the Consent of Congress... enter into any Agreement or Compact with another State.”

[Kenny]

I suspect they will not be pumping billions of dollars overseas though. That part they will likely not go along with.

That's the only part these globalist thieves care about. Without the money, none of them would give a damn.

[Ray76]

oops, left of a phrase

... with another state, or with a foreign power,

[Garth Tater]

I suspect they intend to try to pass state regulations and taxes aimed at comparable reductions in emissions etc., funding more “green” initiatives, sending money to international “green” funds and 3rd World support, etc.

Yep. And that's actually the way our country was set up to run. There was a time when the individual states were known as the "laboratories of democracy" and each state was free to go its own way with all matters not expressly given to the federal govt to handle by the Constitution - of which anthropogenic global warming was not one. I think this move by these states is a great thing. Let's get on with the experiment! Now, if I was a citizen of one of these fine states I'd be looking to move out real quick, but hey, that would be my right as a citizen of this fine country.

[Olog-hai]

So much violations of the Constitution here. I’d say it’s even time to invoke Article 3 Section 3.

[Kickass Conservative]

The East, Northwest and West will Rise Again!

Sounds hauntingly familiar.

[Kickass Conservative]

Smells like Collusion to me.

[Arthur McGowan]

Funny how the supporters of killing babies are supporters of the climate/carbon hoax are supporters of a global Marxist dictatorship.

E.g., the pro-abortion Marxist gang now controlling the Vatican.

[chris37]

Are these governors openly colluding with foreign governments in an effort to harm America?
