Obama to Force United Nations Climate Change Agreement Without Congress Ratification
 |
| The Obama administration’s international climate strategy is likely to infuriate Republican lawmakers who already say the president is abusing his executive authority by pushing through major policies without congressional approval. |

Obama
is going to ram his climate change agreement hoax right down our
throats, and just to add insult on top of injury, he is going to sign
his illegal document at the United Nations Summit in 2015. You don’t
have to be overly keen on “symbolism” to understand what is happening
here.
WASHINGTON
— The Obama administration is working to forge a sweeping international
climate change agreement to compel nations to cut their planet-warming
fossil fuel emissions, but without ratification from Congress.
In preparation for this agreement, to be signed at a United Nations
summit meeting in 2015 in Paris, the negotiators are meeting with
diplomats from other countries to broker a deal to commit some of the
world’s largest economies to enact laws to reduce their carbon
pollution. But under the Constitution, a president may enter into a
legally binding treaty only if it is approved by a two-thirds majority
of the Senate.
To sidestep that requirement, President Obama’s climate negotiators are devising what they call a “politically binding” deal that would “name and shame” countries into cutting their emissions. The deal is likely to face strong objections from Republicans on Capitol Hill and from poor countries around the world, but negotiators say it may be the only realistic path.
In seeking to go around Congress to push his international climate change agenda,
Mr. Obama is echoing his domestic climate strategy. In June, he
bypassed Congress and used his executive authority to order a
far-reaching regulation forcing American coal-fired power plants to curb
their carbon emissions. That regulation, which would not be not final
until next year, already faces legal challenges, including a lawsuit
filed on behalf of a dozen states.
