Obama’s China climate deal is a manmade disaster

CFACT advisor Larry Bell says that the "deal" that President Obama struck with Chinese Supreme Leader Xi Jinping is a manmade disaster that "trades away near-term U.S. energy security and prosperity for vague and distant promises." Rather than historic, the China climate pact is more accurately described as histrionic. The Chinese agree to do nothing they were not already planning -- cutting air pollution by 2030 to address serious human health issues there. The U.S., by contrast, agrees to double the speed of its transition away from fossil fuels -- at a huge cost to U.S. jobs and the U.S. economy.
