After President Trump rejected the Paris Climate treaty, which had never been ratified by the Senate, the European Union announced that it would work with a climate confederacy of secessionist states.
Scotland and Norway’s environmental ministers have mentioned a focus on individual American states. And the secessionist governments of California, New York and Washington have announced that they will unilaterally and illegally enter into a foreign treaty rejected by the President of the United States.

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.
.
Jeff Sessions has become a Pod Person from the planet Mars!
We need an AG.
.
Without Congressional approval, agreements between individual states and foreign governments violate the US Constitution. This is a big deal.
Sessions is AWOL. What a disappointment.
Has anyone told Jeff Sessions he is our acting attorney General yet? I didn’t know you can make recusing yourself a full time job. Can I get a side job recusing myself?
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.
ping.
This is grandstanding attention whoring. Nothing to see here. Move along.
THE TREASONOUS SECESSION OF CLIMATE CONFEDERACY STATES
What’s next? Will the Democrats fire of Fort Sumter again?
And then there’s the fact of the many military installations in Calif. plus the voters who want nothing to do with this latest Leftist insanity.
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.
#CALEXIT How can I help make that a reality?
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!
