California, China sign climate deal after Trump's Paris exit

With President Donald Trump pulling the U.S. out of the Paris climate accord, China and California signed an agreement Tuesday to work together on reducing emissions, as the state's governor warned that "disaster still looms" without urgent action.

Communist Party leaders pledged that greenhouse gas emissions will peak no later than 2030 under the Paris pact, and start to fall after then.

They could murder 50 million of their citizens like they did last century. That would reduce emissions.

Does this mean that Governor Moonbeam signed for the Sovereign State of California?

Hmmm..

[Sivad]

Moonbeam will find a way to stick it to California
agriculture again.

[Husker24]

I didn’t realize an individual State could sign a deal with a foreign country.

[Moonman62]

Isn’t it against the law for states to make deals with foreign countries?

[Ace's Dad]

Does this mean that Governor Moonbeam signed for the Sovereign State of California? Hmmm..

More than Hmmm... I think I might be tempted to call in the Chinese ambassador to State for a little talk!

[Fresh Wind]

The Kalifornia taxpayers are already being hit for $400 billion for single payer health care, how much more will this “climate deal” cost them?

[Savage Beast]

So is California’s a Shadow Government?

[wardamneagle]

Collusion with a communist country.

[Savage Beast]

Are Brown and his comrades part of a Fifth Column within the United States?

[Sacajaweau]

It’s a “no big deal”....memorandum of understanding.

[kaehurowing]

Mmmmmkay. . . .

Art I, Section 10, Clause 1, Constitution of the United States of America:

“No State shall enter into any Treaty, Alliance, or Confederation; grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal; coin Money; emit Bills of Credit; make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts; pass any Bill of Attainder, ex post facto Law, or Law impairing the Obligation of Contracts, or grant any Title of Nobility.”

[Parley Baer]

Even less of an incentive for companies to set up shop in California. In fact it is an incentive for companies to leave California.

[free-in-nyc]

Are they going to send California taxpayers’ money to Communist China?

[smokingfrog]

California should stop pretending they’re a democratic state and just go full commie. Then moonbeam can become dictator for life.

[beethovenfan]

After Moonbeam we’ll get either Liar Steyer or Any Twosome Newsome.

The United States contributed $1 billion to the global Green Climate Fund, but the world’s top polluters contributed nothing, David Asman reported as per Fox News!

The United States contributed $1 billion to the global Green Climate Fund, but the world's top polluters contributed nothing, David Asman reported.

Asman said on "Forbes on Fox" that China, Russia and India contributed no money to the Green Climate Fund, yet that international community pressured the U.S. to join the Paris Climate Accord.

Steve Forbes said that the billion-dollar payment is another reason why President Trump was smart to withdraw the U.S. from the Paris agreement.

note in the article:

“Like the Paris accord, the deals are all nonbinding.”

just more posturing.

as for China shutting down coal-fired plants, phasing out coal - what a deception that is:

Could this be called back channel communication with a foreign country?

[artichokegrower]

Already did when they had Commie China build the Bay Bridge
