President Obama is currently in the midst of negotiations with Chinese President Xi Jinping to finalize the remaining details of the so-called Paris Climate Change Accord aimed at keeping the supposed global temperature rise to around 2 degrees Celsius. Detractors say the ambitious proposal will not not damage growing businesses (but given its lack of enforcement mechanisms) powerhouse polluters like China and India will inevitably maintain the status quo while naive countries in the West abide by all the rules and fall behind in the global economy.
Despite strong pushback by critics in Congress, Obama plans on pushing through the accord anyway and announcing the deal’s ratification alongside President Xi Jinping as early as Friday. In effect, Obama will bypass the entire legislative process, mimicking Communist China’s autocratic procedures.
