Paris

++Over 160 countries have submitted their plans for carbon reduction. But after reading the activists websites, the main dig at President Obama is that the agreement will not be a legally binding treaty.this has been apparent since the preliminary working session in Brazil. It is one of the reasons o many countries have submitted their plans and are attending. Past climate summits have been a farce and those farces have been led by the United States. Remember W's quote,"Here I am the world's biggest polluter." 

++As the French Ambassador told Huffington Post,the only climate deniers are in the U.S. Congress and thank God they will not be in Paris. Jim Imhofe threatened to go but backed off.

++Now after the Iran Nuclear Deal, which forced President obama to outwit Congress for a lower threshold for its adopt, why would anyone believe that he would present a treaty in a presidential election year which would be lampooned by the Republicans and their candidates who are beholden to the Koch Brothers and Big Oil?

++Republicans claimed the Obama-China deal was voluntary but China complied anyway for the first part. 

++I do not want a Kyoto. I'll take a deal rather than a treaty anyway. But the most devoted climate activists are pressing where they have little chance of success.
