For the agreement to have legal force, it must be ratified by at least 55 of the 195 countries that adopted it without objection Saturday. Those 55 countries must represent at least 55% of all global-warming emissions. This is seen by many observers, including me, as a formality. There was broad consensus in support of this agreement and the message it sends about climate change. The Obama administration also argues the agreement can be ratified by an executive action, meaning it won't have to go before the U.S. Senate, where many members of the GOP majority are skeptics of climate science and resist action.
...
...
It clearly doesn't exist yet. Over the weekend, U.S. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell reportedly said the Paris agreement could be "shredded in 13 months" if a Republican is elected to the White House. Most of the leading Republican candidates for the U.S. presidency are climate skeptics, and most of the GOP candidates flunk climate science, according to a group of scientists The Associated Press assembled to analyze their public statements on this topic. (Jeb Bush did the best of the Republicans, but he only scored 64 of 100; the Democrats scored between 87 and 94 in terms of their accuracy.)

Republicans are apparently not too smart on climate science......

Well, not in the eyes of climate scientists who believe in global warming, oopsie, climate change.
In the eyes of those of us who know how scientists lies through statistics and fool themselves, they know plenty.
There are Lies, Damn Lies, Statistics, and Climate Change Studies. you can prove anything you want with Statistics if you try hard enough and manipulate the data and conditions enough to suit your agenda, and to keep/get your government funding.

The redistribution has begun. 500 million going to the Green Climate Fund. This is the first payment of 3 billion Obama has pledged. Two senators are threatening legal action.

Obama keeps forgetting about Congress approving his spending. $500 million is just like his wife and all her friends taking a couple week trip to a foreign country, pocket change for the king.

The Obama administration – despite resistance from congressional Republicans -- has committed the U.S. to contributing $3 billion to the fund, a program established by the United Nations to help poor countries adopt clean energy technologies to address climate change. Nearly 200 other nations have agreed to provide $100 billion per year by 2020, from private and public sources.

Nice. Leaving the US funding 90+ percent of this.
Let's hope the lawsuit works out - it's an impeachable offense IMHO.

But they'll spend all this time and energy deriding and assassinating Donald Trump...and others will go out of their way to shut down his rallies...but the DOJ prosecuting people for thought crimes is AOK in their books apparently.
Really? And you think Cruz/Trump are dangerous to the country? Are you kidding me?
I'm sure Elkabong will be applauding the DOJ and the sitting AG...and Rookies will be along with a witty new name for our Attorney General...
Then again, how can you top "Drumpf" and "Ladonna"...George Carlin you two ain't.

This is hwy we need Trump.
The POSPOTUS has no right to do this and yet the GOP losers cannot stop him.
Why would ANYONE consider voting for ANY GOP jackass?
Obama is a nothing but a thief. He is the enemy of this nation and should be treated that way.
Thought police?
And they call Trump a Nazi?
Certainly, over the last 7 years, Obama has demonstrated far more Hitler-like actions than anyone in our recent history, why, I daresay since Hitler himself?

The next budget includes a proposed $10 / barrel tax - that should help everyone.

Funny stuff, dave The headline says "extreme climate events" but the chart calls them "extreme weather events." Those Climatistas are pretty clever in a sublte way, aren't they?
It also suggests that Iraq and Armenia are safe places to live.
