From a press release:
Heartland Institute Experts React to President Obama’s Signing of
the Paris Climate Agreement on Earth Day
President Barack Obama plans to sign the controversial Paris climate agreement today, Earth Day. The nonbinding agreement was drawn up and approved by 196 countries at the U.N. Conference of the Parties (COP-21) climate conference, which was held in Paris in December. Signatory nations agreed to reduce their carbon output “as soon as possible” and to do their best to keep global warming “to well below 2 degrees C.”
The Heartland Institute is among the world’s most prominent think tanks promoting skepticism of man-caused climate change. It hosted a counter-conference in Paris during the U.N. climate talks.

“It is absolutely astounding that with the various problems currently facing America – many of which could be addressed with the money the president wishes to assign to international income distribution – President Obama would make the centerpiece of his presidency a treaty that will have no positive impact on our environment whatsoever but will have a considerable negative impact on our economy.”
Science Director

“Like the foundations of Earth Day itself, the president’s ceremonial signing of the Paris agreement is all fluff and no substance. Facts do not matter and science does not matter; it’s the agenda, stupid. And, unfortunately, the president has a pen and a media fawning over every move.
“Whether this is a treaty or an ‘executive agreement,’ the Paris agreement has no lasting impact beyond short-term costs to consumers and taxpayers. But the green agenda moves on.

“President Barack Obama will sign the Paris climate agreement on Earth Day because of his supposed concern about man-made global warming. However, it is ironic he does so while actively working to curtail production of the one source of energy that is responsible for more greenhouse gas reductions than wind or solar could ever hope to achieve: natural gas.
“Despite claiming to have an ‘all of the above’ energy strategy, natural gas production in the United States has boomed. This in spite of, not because of, President Obama. In fact, Obama has unveiled several new regulations that will impede natural gas production by limiting offshore production, imposing new Bureau of Land Management restrictions on fracking, and imposing expensive methane capture rules that make it harder for gas producers to stay in business.
“Thank goodness this treaty is largely symbolic and we can see the light at the end of the Obama tunnel.”

“President Obama is signing an agreement to do nothing about nothing, all as a justification to make citizens pay more. You have to admire the political genius of it.”
Professor, Department of Applied Mathematics

Christopher Essex presented at Heartland’s “Day of Examining the Data” at COP-21 in Paris.
“In signing the Paris COP-21 climate change agreement, President Barack Obama appears to be hoping Americans never read the fine print. Unknown to most of the public is the fact developing nations such as China and India were given an opt-out clause in the original U.N. Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) treaty on which the Paris agreement is based.
“The UNFCCC stated that developing countries will implement their emission reduction commitments if we in the developed world pay them enough and give them enough of our technology. Also implied in the agreement is that even if we do give them everything we promise, developing countries may still not meet their targets if those targets interfere with developing countries’ ‘first and overriding priorities’ of ‘economic and social development and poverty eradication.’
“Since actions to significantly reduce emissions will usually interfere with development priorities, developing countries need not meet their targets at all. Developed nations do not have this option; they must keep their emission reduction commitments, no matter how badly they impact their economies. The Paris agreement is a swindle that transfers our wealth to the rest of the world for no environmental benefit in return.”

Tom Harris presented at Heartland’s “Day of Examining the Data” at COP-21 in Paris
“President Barack Obama’s commitment to the Paris agreement, which will be signed without the approval of Congress, is the worst unilateral commitment made by a president since President Lyndon Johnson committed hundreds of thousands of combat troops into Vietnam – without a strategic plan. In spite of the government spending $2.5 billion a year on its climate change science program, government scientists have not been able to produce any meaningful evidence that greenhouse gases, particularly carbon dioxide, cause global warming or climate change.
“The global climate models government agencies often use to make unjustified claims significantly overestimate the warming of the atmosphere, where greenhouse warming should occur. Already, without the approval of Congress, the administration has diverted $500 million, largely from needed economic development funds, to U.N. bureaucrats claiming they need the money to ‘fight’ climate change. Climate change has been occurring for hundreds of millions of years, long before there was a United Nations or mankind.
“As the ‘evidence’ for limiting the use of fossil fuels continues to disintegrate, the evidence showing wind and solar energies are unreliable replacements continues to grow. What modern civilization can exist on unreliable electricity to run its medical facilities, subways, elevators, heating and cooling systems, refrigeration, and street and traffic lights? Yet, the administration promotes this disastrous program.
“Thanks to modern technology, the United States, along with neighboring Canada and Mexico, have plenty of clean-burning coal, oil, and natural gas to provide for our energy needs in the foreseeable future. According to the Energy Information Agency, the United States in 2015 imported less than 13 percent of the petroleum (including crude oil, gasoline, etc.) it used from outside of North America. The claim that alternative energy is needed for national defense is as obsolete as flintlock muskets.
“No good can come from this unneeded, costly, and destructive agreement. The egos of the environmental zealots, including key members of the Obama administration, will not be satisfied – until they have destroyed everything modern.”

People honestly think it is a coincidence earth day is the same day as Lenin’s birthday?
😀
Naa–most of the greens I know were former Reds, emphasizing former. Try reading Eric Hoffer on mass movements and their interchangability.Fanatics tend to change topics, not stop being fanatics.
“Fanatics tend to change topics, not stop being fanatics”
Well put. Plus when the “revolution” comes to an end the “revolutionaries” become the enemy, of course because Environmentalism is a means to an end, once you get to the “end” the means are no longer needed, ie Environmentalists who will cry aloud when slapped with “breeder” laws and told they cant go and enjoy nature because humans are banned, only them will they see their folly 😀
This is all headed towards 2 classes of humans, the serf colonies and the ruling whatever they call themselves these days, a nice manageable 500 million globally, with most of the world off limits except for the dystopian rulers.
If you doubt this, listen to Ted Turner lament us numerous humans, and then consider how much land Ted Turner owns with no humans on it, then consider his input into this matter behind the scenes along with the Rockefeller foundation and all those green groups Prince Philip (Mr “i want to come back as a virus and kill most of humanity”) is patron of.
The lefties are a tool, a tool of the few mega wealthy who consider most other humans as little more than uncivilised animals.
Once the “revolution” ends, the lefties will be chucked into the same basket as the rest of us and that you can bet on
This may sound a bit conspiratorial, but not if you go through the history of how the most wealthy and powerful has regarded the masses of humanity, it is consistent throughout.
Interesting, thanks
.Fro some reason , no one seems to have seen this. It seems like some underhand,
back-room trickery went on in the final text of the Paris agreement.
http://www.theguardian.com/environment/2016/apr/18/us-and-china-lead-push-to-bring-paris-climate-deal-into-force-early
” Governments at the Paris climate meeting had initially set the start
date of the agreement in 2020 – with intense discussion over whether
that start date should be at the start or end of the year, according to
diplomats.
. The 2020 date remained in the negotiating drafts almost until the very
end, the diplomats said. But unaccountably the final draft prepared by
France left out the entire clause. .By that point, after a few late-night
negotiating sessions, a number of countries did not notice the omission. ”
Someone has pulled a fast one on the Paris treaty.
If that’s the kind of bad faith that is going on, time to Pull Out NOW.
If that was not the text that was negotiated why the heck are 135
rushing to sign it this week. Has no one noticed yet?
This isn’t a detail, it could have huge impact.
I would have thought that was good grounds pull out of the signing process.
Very few of them stopped being Reds. They just stopped being open about it.
They still have the same goals, they just have adopted new methods of getting there.
Hence the term watermelon. Green on the outside, red to the core.
Not only is Earth Day the same as Lenin’s birthday, the first Earth Day was also Lenin’s 100th birthday. Bunch of watermellons.
“Bunch of watermellons.”
Thad made me chuckle, not heard that one.
I like to call it “Erf Day”, because “erf” is the sound humanity makes while enviroloonykins activists punch it in the gut, all in the name of “saving the planet”.
Ever heard of ErfWorld? It’s a good comic.
GRAND THEFT on a massive scale and Obama is an accessory to the fact…pg
The irony is democrats cant see that Obama has exceeded his powers and broke the law more than Bush did
Obama basically turned his Oval Office chair into a throne
They can see it all right. It’s just that as far as most them are concerned, it’s OK because Obama is doing it to help them.
To your average socialist, right and wrong are based solely on whether they are benefiting or not.
Image over substance. Way o’ the world today.
Let him sign all he wants because it’s not worth the paper it’s written on unless The United States CONGRESS APPROVES IT!! PERIOD!!
Then the US congress needs to wake up to the fast one being pulled on this.
The starting date of 2020 has just been “accidentally” left out of the final text.

Greg,
The US congress can nap until Oct when the next injection of funds are due, which they have not voted for or earmarked.
Greg the only thing Mr Obama can negotiation & sign without the buy off congress is “Lunch”.
that “separation of powers” thingy.

Trust the left wing judges to rule that the treaty is enforceable, even without congressional approval.
Gunman – I see it as more sinister than that. So what is the point of a non-binding agreement anyway? Many gains the ‘greens’ have made are small but incremental and go unchallenged. Funding for this here, a by-law there, a court case lost over there. But the sum of the parts are infused into the fabric like fungus on a dying tree trunk. The longer these agreements go unchallenged the closer to law they become and in the meantime will be used as guidance for making new laws. BECAUSE “we” signed the Paris agreement we should be doing this or that.
This is a big mistake. Barack Obama’s legacy will not be what he is attempting to manipulate it to be.
Nature will not cooperate with warmist ideology. This CAGW fad is built on incorrect premises, and once it’s glaringly apparent how wrong it is, Barack Obama’s personal legacy will be in tatters as the world turns on him because of his ignorance and machiavellian manipulations.
Barack Obama’s legacy will be one as the biggest lying manipulator ever caught red-handed by nature herself in the biggest con ever foisted on humanity. Nature herself will convict Barack Obama.
Everything Barack Obama is doing by the green transfusion he’s sticking us with is meant to turn the United States into a earth-worshipping economically anemic country, whose citizens are literally disempowered.
Today’s signing agreement is the beginning of the end of CAGW, and Barack’s too blind to understand that.
EVERYONE needs to stand firm against him. All he’s got is a big f’ing mouth. How long are we going to let this big mouthed bully push US around?
What I find most hilarious about this is all the politicians who have been at the beck and call of corporations have fooled so many liberals and lefties into believing that the same politicians are striving to fight the very evil that has fed them since there has been politicians
Politicians have never been at the beck and call of corporations.
If that were so there wouldn’t be so many regulations and taxes wouldn’t be so high.
The only thing politicians care about is getting re-elected.
Let me introduce you to some economic concepts critical to understanding public choice theory:
1) Rent Seeking
2) Regulatory Capture
… or, as in the case of Uber’s problems with cities’ taxi cab comissions, regulatory capture is a neat and dandy way to make it difficult for new competitors from entering the market.
That corporations and individuals would seek to use govt to gain what they cannot through the market is a given, it’s also not evidence that all politicians serve at the beck and call of corporations.
That companies seek to influence the agencies that regulate them is a given, it’s also not evidence that all politicians serve at the beck and call of corporations.
As always, when the people care enough, the politicians will follow the people.
“Politicians have never been at the beck and call of corporations.
If that were so there wouldn’t be so many regulations and taxes wouldn’t be so high”
But corporations don’t really pay taxes, those who don’t get to increase a price do. It can be the consumer, the employee, or the shareholder. And sometimes one small tax breaks the camel’s back and there is no corporation, no shareholder and no employees. And the unions will still cheer the ever tax increasing pro-“regulation” (meaning inept state intervention) republicrats.
When all corporations who make a given product (or a substitute) pay the same tax, it’s the consumer who is taxed. So unless the nuclear industry can overcome the burden of increasing antinuclear regulation and pro-radiation fear EPA, the end user will pay the carbon tax.
Trump needs to win this election. Badly.
We need trump to win, or cruz
Oh that’s right 4-22. I almost forgot it is hate humans / prosperity day.
Has the Senate approved it?
He doesn’t plan on sending it to the Senate from what I’ve heard…I could be wrong
Executive order, I heard.
Obama probably has some money to throw at it, too, even without Congress’ approval. Congress has already passed the budget, and so Obama has money that he can move around within, say the State Department, that has already been allocated for one thing, and he can divert those funds to his favorite charity.
If Congress doesn’t like it, they can pass a bill requiring no money be spent on the treaty, but then the bill they pass has to go to Obama to sign, and Obama won’t sign it, and the Congress does not have enough votes to override the veto.
Obama has a lot of room to manuever. And about nine more months to take action.
The new president, if a Republican, will terminate any funds going to the treaty.
..It’s wealth redistribution, nothing to do with the climate ! ” The Greens are so Yellow they are too cowardly to admit that they are actually Red ! “
Prince Philip babbles about Indonesian forests and a last chance, as the UK puts up all it’s forests for sale. that made me laugh my stones off
..Princess Chuckles is always good for a laugh…or ten !!
Catastrophic Anthropogenic Government Whoring.
One good thing about Earth Day is that if you have a Culver’s nearby, they are selling ice cream “dirt” cheap today. Or maybe it is “dirt” ice cream, whatever.
A Non-binding Treaty not ratified by the US Senate.
Sounds like a waste of good ink.
Until a left wing judge finds a sub-penumbra in the constitution that allows the president to declare that congress would have approved it been submitted it to congress, therefore the courts will consider it to be approved.
We are living historic change.
As Kleptocracy devolves into Idiocraty.
The business of stealing from the many to enrich the few, organized parasitism, takes subtlety and propaganda to succeed for any length of time.
The usual technique of the big lie, requires at least an appearance of plausibility.
“We are from the government we are here to help you”.
This still works on too many people.
However the idiocy of ;”We the government control climate”. is not going to hold up for very long.
First big storm or natural occurrence that slams into the plans of man, will now be the responsibility of those who control the climate.
No matter what spin they attempt the simplest logic requires their guilt.
If taxing everything that produces carbon dioxide will save the climate, then the government presumes to know what climate is optimum and claims to be controlling emissions to control climate.
Hubris does not begin to describe this level of stupid.
So as government incompetence peaks, they proclaim they control our climate.
Such blatant stupidity will reap its own reward.
King Knut’s lessons will never reach these carefully “educated” lords of the universe.
Just as the lessons of The Emperors New Clothes,will never register on our emboldened bureaus.
Obama is signing in Paris
a document meant to ensnare us.
Constitution? Who cares?
He wants One World affairs
With doomsday predictions to scare us.
https://lenbilen.com/2016/04/22/earth-day-2016-sign-the-paris-agreement/
Obama’s executive pen strokes overrule the constitution, that’s the reality of the situation
But Obama’s negotiators in Paris negotiated with the leader of the summit, another socialist, for a non binding deal.
Essentially making the whole thing meaningless in order for him to attempt to bypass congress
Yep seems legit
I find it funny that in honor of Earth day, the oh-so-green president has been flying all around the world. I guess Air Force 1 flies on Unicorn Farts now!
Of course for me I will be running every light in the house this evening and riding my tractor around the field mowing the grass for good measure.
It’s not funny…. Like the pigs in Animal Farm who insisted that they be the only one allowed to eat apples, he exempts himself from the energy poverty he wishes to impose on us mundanes, because he needs to fly around to save the Earth.
The so-called climate agreement is likely to have little effect on the US, other than possibly a few billion in contributions to developing nation dictators or hegemons. The only agreement in between President Obama and the other countries. It is not a legally binding treaty since it is very unlikely to be ratified by the US Senate.
In the mean time we have the prospect in the next election of being faced with two candidates, Donald Trump and Hilary Clinton, competing with the highest ever disapproval ratings ever. That means they will be competing for the dwindling voter turnout with less than a plurality of the voting age population voting for either. The likely vote is likely to be less than George W. Bush’s plurality in ’96, and the bare majorities in 1988 and 2000 for Clinton and Bush. The actual voting percentage hasn’t been this low in nearly 100 years. This sounds like a repeat of the massive anti-progressive election in 1920 of Warren G. Harding.
So, if the Senate doesn’t ratify the COP21 treaty, it becomes null and void for the US?
Or can Obama superbly ignore the Senate’s vote and enforce the treaty anyways?
Obama can do anything he wants, until either congress or the courts stop him.
Neither congress nor the courts seem to have the desire or will to stop him.
Be prepared to (possibly) be surprised. I just read about a car that had all four of its tires slashed due to a bumper sticker that preached hate. What was the “hate” it preached? – Trump for President. In the presence of this example I think there are a LOT of potential supporters who will sensibly keep their mouths closed … till they open them on Election Day.
Republican primary turnout has never been greater.
He plans to ratify it himself, by “executive agreement”. Since it isn’t a treaty, but an “agreement”, that’s the way he gets to bypass the Senate. And that was a deliberate tactic by the UNIPCC. They knew the Senate would never ratify it.
“to do their best to keep global warming “to well below 2 degrees C.”
Below 2 degrees C above the temperature of the end of the Little Ice Age? Merciful heavens!
Comments seem to vanish.
We are officially entering the Age of Idiocraty.
When government hubris reaches such a level of arrogance and incompetence that they loudly proclaim their control of our climate,weather and human survival, then it becomes the task of every productive member of society to disband all such bureaucracies.
Nothing is a bigger threat to civil society,human survival than organized stupidity.
Allowing fools and bandits unhindered access to the levers of power will not enhance our lives.
These persons loudly self identify, know them and shun them.
Vote them out and confine them to areas where they can do no harm.
The Age of Idiocracy. From the movie:
“But Obama’s negotiators in Paris negotiated with the leader of the summit, another socialist, for a non binding deal. Essentially making the whole thing meaningless in order for him to attempt to bypass congress.”
But bypassing Congress is not meaningless. It’s the destruction of constitutional checks and balances.
How can a “non-binding” agreement endanger America’s economic future and capacity for self-government? Because the guts of the agreement — the reporting, monitoring, and verification “commitments” — are understood to be binding. Those requirements are the framework for a global, multi-decadal regime of political pressure designed to overcome political resistance to climate alarm, EPA’s power plant rules, cap-and-trade, wealth transfers from the poor in rich countries to the rich in poor countries (a.k.a. “climate finance”), and “keep it in the ground” restrictions on domestic energy production.

Just one question !!! Why are poor countries POOR ?
For the most part, because they adopted socialism, not capitalism.
Typically, because they lack formal property rights, the rule of law, and effective restraints on political plunder. For further discussion, see his essay by Hernando De Soto: http://object.cato.org/sites/cato.org/files/pubs/pdf/catosletterv2n3.pdf
On top of which he interferes WITH OUR POLITICS IN THE UK !!!!!!! Can’t you guys keep him holed up in the states ? If we came over to the US and tried to tell you who to vote for there’d be hell to pay !!!!
Somebody gave him the keys to the family jet, now it’s impossible to keep track of where he is.
Obama has just told us Brits that if we leave the European Union we will be at the back of the queue when it comes to agreeing a trade agreement with the US. I don’t like bullying.
Our leaving the UK is not about trade it is us about regaining our independence to run our own affairs. We will still be in NATO.
Maybe the US would like to form an American Continental Union under the same rules we have in Europe and Paraguay, Arfgentina etc can make your laws for you.
I’m glad I’m not the only one who saw that as a direct threat !!!!!! I was decided which way I’d vote before, now I’m adamant (and angry!!! )
Obama will only be in office for another 10 months. He can’t dictate to the next president.
It could take years to undo what TraitorBama does. That’s the problem.

Look at it this way: On January 20, 2017 either Obama will be a bad memory or the US will be in a civil war and won’t be negotiating any trade deals with anyone. Now I can’t guarantee that his replacement will be worth anything either since my countrymen seem to have collectively taken leave of their senses.
President Obama is signing an agreement to make the life even harder for the poor.
– And he even got the peace price for something – nobody knows why!
Once he’s out of office, Obama’s signatures on private deals with Iran, China and the UN will be meaningless.
And when he starts crying, send that “constitutional scholar” a copy of the Constitution.
I don’t care what the scumbag is signing. Get it off the wholesome soil of my my country and back to whatever pit it came out of.
