[Wash Times] President Obama is prepared to enter into the Paris climate accord as early as this week even though Republicans have insisted that the pact must be ratified by the Senate, according to a report out of China.
The South China Morning Post reported that Mr. Obama and Chinese President Xi Jinping are "set to jointly announce their ratification" of the ambitious international climate-change pact on Friday, two days before the start of the 11th G-20 Summit in Hangzhou, Zhejiang.
"There are still some uncertainties from the U.S. side due to the complicated U.S. system in ratifying such a treaty, but the announcement is still quite likely to be ready by Sept. 2," an unnamed source told the English-language newspaper.
In addition, "[s]enior climate officials from both countries worked late into the night in Beijing on Tuesday to finalise [sic] details," said the article, citing "sources familiar with the issue."
The Thursday report touched off alarm among foes of the Paris Agreement, which calls for nations to reduce their greenhouse-gas emissions with the aim of holding global temperatures to an increase of "well below" 2 degrees Celsius from pre-industrial levels.

The Imperial President who has not sense of limits or the Constitution. His give away of the Internet to the UN will trump Carter's Panama Canal fiasco to assure Champ's place as the worst President ever, and not even the Grant administration was as corrupt as this one.

Treaties have to be ratified by congress so it doesn't matter what he does with it. He can play games to make his voters happy but they can't even vote for him again so its harmless nonsense that will make him look good at all the parties in his post-presidency.

Originally reported by the the South China Morning Post, most likely written by a Chinese reporter communist party apparatchik. Baraq only wishes he could be like Xi but with all the RINOs in the US Senate...you never know.
