The U.S. and China will formally join the United Nations global warming agreement while President Barack Obama makes his final trip to Asia for the G20 meeting in September, sources tell the South China Morning Post.
U.S. and Chinese officials said an announcement will likely be made Sept. 2, about two days before Obama meets with President Xi Jinping at the G20 summit in Hangzhou, sources told the Post.
If true, Obama will have ratified a major international agreement without Senate approval. Obama clearly hopes U.S. and Chinese ratification of the deal will help it come into force earlier than anticipated, making it politically harder for a future president to undo.
“There are still some uncertainties from the US side due to the complicated US system in ratifying such a treaty, but the announcement is still quite likely to be ready by Sept 2,” a source with knowledge of the announcement told the Post.
Scandalous. Like socialism there are only two types of people who can afford to believe in climate change. Those who have everything and those who have nothing. Advocates of empirical science must remain steadfast in the face of growing dogmatic & political tomfoolery. In time climate change will be consigned to the wacky chapter of human endeavor- squeezed in between bobbing for witches and eugenics.
I remenber schooling my liberal co-workers on the fact that Obama bypassing the Senate and signing this thing himself meant it wasn’t worth the paper it was written on. They’re response, while hi-fiving each other? “Well, he did it and it’s binding!” Fast forward to 2017. Donald Trump is President and one of the first things he did was to get us out of that unconstitutionally signed non-treaty, whose only purpose was the redistribution of American citizens wealth….. $60,000,000,000 given to a few South American countries. Btw, none of that money found it’s way to “The people”. It went right into the pockets of their corrupt dictators.
