Comment Re:Mitch McConnell pulls a Boehner (Score 1) 285

It is already in the regulations that came in to being as a result of a Supreme Court order. We are already delivering through CAFE standards, new point source regulations and the regulations that are available for public comment for existing point sources. There is nothing that congress needs to do. In fact, since Paris in 2015 will just be an update to the already ratified Framework Convention on Climate Change, there will be nothing to ratify for that either. http://www.nytimes.com/2014/08...

Wow, you really don't know what Chinese motor vehicle efficiency standards are. You seem very uninformed. You don't even realize that refined products will be exported, not used here. http://tarsandsaction.org/spre... And, you seem to be completely baffled about our own CAFE standards, which are rising. The deal you want is already on the books. You are like a guy who has just won the Superbowl saying you want to get ready for the big game.

Comment Mitch McConnell pulls a Boehner (Score 1) 285

Mitch McConnell cosponsored a resolution in 1997 demanding commitments from China. http://www.nationalcenter.org/... Now, when President Obama delivers the deal he asked for he backpedals. http://www.nytimes.com/politic... He was for commitments from China before he was against them for sure. Seems like he is a lot like Boehner who can't deliver on deals either.

Kyoto was and effort to keep carbon dioxide from becoming pollution. We've been surprised that climate damage has started sooner than expected. We used to think that 2 C warming was safe. Kyoto was to do the Montreal Protocol one better by getting in front of the problem rather than reacting after the fact. It was not going to work that way unless China had made a commitment at that time. So, really, it is China that has converted carbon dioxide into pollution by its lack of cooperation from that time.
