NEW YORK TIMES:
WASHINGTON — The White House on Tuesday introduced President Obama’s blueprint for cutting greenhouse gas emissions in the United States by nearly a third over the next decade. Mr. Obama’s plan, part of a formal written submission to the United Nations ahead of efforts to forge a global climate change accord in Paris in December, detailed the United States’ part of an ambitious joint pledge made by Mr. Obama and President Xi Jinping of China in November.

Mr. Obama said the United States would cut its emissions by 26 to 28 percent by 2025, while Mr. Xi said that China’s emissions would drop after 2030.
What a fucking great negotiator!

Questions to the bored, is nuclear fallout and contamination from Iranian nuclear weapons considered "Green House Pollution"? Where does the Sierra Club stand regarding the negotiations in Switzerland? Did they take Israel's seat at the table?

Too soon?

    Apparently Honda doesn't subscribe to the New York Times... and hasn't learned how to cut and paste into Google?

    Damn he is stupid.

    "A series of scientific and economic reports have concluded that in order to avoid the 2-degree temperature rise, the world’s largest economies will have to drastically cut carbon emissions within just a few years — a rate far more rapid than what the United States and China have offered. At the same time, experts negotiating the Paris deal say that an essential component of the treaty will be a tax on industries for their carbon emissions — an idea that remains a political nonstarter in the United States."

    From the same article. Glad you agree with Al Gore that global warming is human caused.

    Also you might check the date, but that article sure wasn't Tuesday this week.

    Death reports,, you decide. Fair and balanced. Death, the most trusted news network on the Tug.

    That's not what your quote says. Maybe you should read it.

    BTW, does nuclear radiation from an Iranian nuclear bomb affect global warming?

    Probably not, or Obama might actually give a fuck?
