Of the 2,400 coal-fired power plants under construction or being planned around the world, 1,171 will be built in China. This rapid growth of coal power means that, mathematically, Chinese carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions are unlikely to stop rising.

http://dailycaller.com/2016/11/03/what-global-warming-china-still-plans-to-build-new-coal-plant-every-week-in-2020/

According to Vic's article hey are cutting ~103 of those 1171 projects. How's dumping more co2 into the atmosphere progress again? Simply because it's not as much as previously planned?

Sobwhats that a new coal plant every week and 12 hours, instead of a week?

Also what point is someone trying to prove pointing out that a communist government adopts a highly regulated energy sector? Central planners love curbing economic growth for the sake of government power under the ruse of protecting the environment.

It sounds like it is official now. If this deal is going to affect us for the next several decades, is the Left conceding that they won't have one of their own in the White House in that span of time? Because I'm pretty sure the next Dem will just hop back into the faux treaty.

Maybe instead of complaining, they can spend that time finding a fielding a competent candidate.

.....

Bahahahahahaha, like that'll ever happen.
Well, you laugh, but remember, us Righties gave the world Trump.

We aren't that much better.

..you do know that, unless appropriately named tax (like Federal Gas Tax or most "sin" taxes), it comes out the General Fund. Which, all income tax supports.

There is no specified tax for this, so it's paid 100% by the General Fund.

And I'll have my fingers crossed for the next few years. In the meantime we have Gorsuch, and that's an excellent start.

President Trump is a collaborative effort by the political establishment. If they had done their jobs and focused on the betterment of the USA over petty personal squabbles then we wouldn't have a President Trump. Both parties have become so entrenched in this political death match that they've completely lost site of their responsibilities to the US citizenry.

President Trump is what happens when a political establishment breaks down. This will continue until the establishment rights itself and starts paying attention to American citizenry and crafts policy that's best for the US citizens, not everyone except the US citizens.

Marxism, the most lethal weapon of mass destruction to be crafted by human hands. Atomic weapons don't hold a candle to that destructive ideology, hell Hitler couldn't match the body count accumulated by socialist governments asserting themselves.

The interesting part to note is that the US was never bound to follow that agreement in the first place. Agreements are merely heads of state agreeing to follow some particular piece of agenda and have absolutely zero enforcement attached. See in the USA congressional approval (super majority) is required for the US to enter into an enforceable international treaty. Congress never authorized President Obama to do such a thing and thus the US is under no legal requirement to actually do anything the EU wants.

President Trump doesn't need to "withdraw" from some Executive Agreement as he was never in it to begin with, President Obama was and Executive Agreements like Command Policies do not transfer from one commander to another. The old policies need to be resigned by the new commander in order to have a legal effect.

We're good guys?

Can you go back to pretending your arguments are entirely objective, despite the fact you're arguing against "feels" with your own?

Kindof like how Trump colluded with Russia through "secret communications channels" to fix the election, then go after Kushner for setting up a backdoor communications channel after the election with Russia (which, frankly, is what every administration does, which is to have world leaders, you know, talk to each other and not expressly through diplomats).

And some people on this website still doesn't understand that this whole Kushner narrative they are pushing pretty underminds and destroys the Trump-Russia narrative they have going on.
