UN makes power play against Trump
By Devin Henry - 10/05/16
International governments have made a power play against Donald Trump
by ratifying an international climate deal earlier than expected,
effectively preventing him from “canceling” the deal as he has promised
to do.
The European Union’s Tuesday decision to join
the Paris climate deal will push the deal over the threshold for
ratification; it will formally take effect in 30 days.
President
Obama committed the United States to reduce its emissions by 26 percent
to 28 percent by 2025 as part of the deal. The agreement is nonbinding,
so Trump would be free to ignore it if he wins the White House.
