Agreements between states or individuals and foreign govts including UN and Climate Treaty violates federal law and AG Sessions should prosecute those dirtbags. Now if we could only wake up good ole jeff sessions.
Charge and lock up the governors for attempting to subvert US foreign policy and trying to establish their own treaty.
The EU wants money ,do these states have tons of money to throw away
Why fight them? They will soon have little energy, and what they do have will be very expensive. Their economies will tank, all the productive folks will depart, leaving only lib arts majors, actors, politicians, and lawyers to try to work all the complex items of an advanced society.
We then can take over, and do what we will with the liberal idiots.
Such as make them ride power generating bicycles connected to our hot tubs, etc.
Let them go - we should encourage them not try to stop them.
I’m a little lost here. Can someone please explain to me what it actually means that these states are quote unquote signing on to the Paris agreement. In what practical way can they do anything to abide by the terms of this agreement.

THE TREASONOUS SECESSION OF CLIMATE CONFEDERACY STATES
What’s next? Will the Democrats fire of Fort Sumter again?
If Congress didn't ratify a treaty, but some states want to follow some guidelines that the rest of the country doesn't agree to, that's not secession or treason (assuming the guidelines are themselves constitutional).
Politically the states are going in a different direction from the rest of the country, but it doesn't look like they're breaking any laws.
I wondered when someone would wake up to this. For example, the State of California has no power to enter into a treaty with China regarding climate change and trade, despite the ballyhood meeting of Jerry Brown with President of China (by the way, a hostile nation to the U.S.). Either it’s a treaty snd illegal, or even if it’s simply an “agreement” it still must be approved by Congress. Article I, Section 10 of the Constitution.
Time to bombard their harbors!
Here’s the rub - say CA makes some law mandating something on some manufactured product. Some thing they have done in the past, but now with this new treaty they take it to some extreme, like mandating E25 or higher for fuel.
That means all manufactures will have to comply with CA regulations no matter how extreme and new cars will have to have E25 rating no matter what state it is in. The CA market is just so huge that manufactures will have no other choice but to comply and so the rest of us will have to as well - they will be no other less restrictive product. So the Paris treaty will in effect be signed by the US. The only way to stop this insanity is to stop CA from going down that road. But then we need a real AG with guts, not a reclusive entitled wimp getting kudos in his declining years.
No business or person is bound to follow any regulation created by any state which purports to follow this treaty. Any such regulation is unconstitutional and void.
Didn't bother to read the article, just the ridiculous headline.
Students of history know southern leaders of the United States and Confederate States were patriots with serious ideas. Today's climate bunch are anything but.
This is all for show by both sides.
The crux of the Paris accords was a huge transfer of money from the US treasury to the “Green” fund for further distribution to international leftists.
The states can impose regulations if they want but that’s not what foreign countries were after and they won’t pay the least bit of attention no matter how badly states wish to hamstring their own industries.
Foreign countries want USA money. That’s it. Has nothing to do with climate, weather or regulations.
What exactly are they going to ‘work on’. Raising the cost of their energy to ruinous levels and collecting punitive taxes from their citizens to send to fat, corrupt third world tyrants. This will drive out the few productive citizens they have left and leave nothing but economic disaster zones.
Real secession is not treason. It is a basic right.
That is what the Founding Fathers did when they seceded from Great Britain.
