At the 2015 Paris Climate Conference, or COP21, President Obama plans to sign another bad deal for America.
The United States will pledge to reduce greenhouse gas emissions 26 percent to 28 percent by 2025. That won’t stop global warming, and will likely make its consequences worse for most Americans.
Without international action, global temperatures are on track to rise as much as 3.9 degrees Celsius above preindustrial levels. Melting Arctic ice will raise sea levels enough to flood island nations in the Pacific and major coastal cities like Shanghai, expand deserts, and curtail global food production.
Curbing greenhouse gas emissions appears the only viable path available to mankind to limit the devastation.
