Every time President Obama gives the GOP what they want, they freak out.
Either they ask for things they really do not want, hoping that when the president does not deliver they can complain about his lack of bipartisan cooperation, or they just get upset that when he delivers they have to deal with the results and share the blame if the thing they pretended to want was a disaster just waiting to happen.
They wanted certain things taken out of, and added to the Affordable Care Act, but when they got them they tried over 50 times to repeal the ACA because those things were in it.
They wanted decisive actions taken in places like Libya, and when they got them, they complained about violations of protocol. Same goes with Syria.
So, as if on cue, when Obama went along with certain climate things that they had previously wanted, the GOP went nuts that he went along with those things.
Marco Rubio, as recently as this past May, objected to the United States trying to do anything about greenhouse gas emissions because China, a major emitter, was doing nothing. Now that China is going to do something, Rubio may have to go along with proposals about U.S. gas emission reduction, or find some way to object based on a new reason.
Now what will those who also claimed that until China decided to do something, people like John Boehner, Jim Inhofe, Michelle Bachmann, Jim DeMint, and John Barrasso, do now that they have gotten what they wanted?
President Obama apparently heard their objection and addressed it.
Oh, except for Mitch McConnell who had consistently objected to anything that affected coal since his father-in-law makes money shipping coal around the world, and makes millions of dollars available to Mitch, and cocaine if he wants it.
The United States and China agreed to deal with climate change, and Mitch called it a “war on coal” because both countries agreed to reduce carbon emissions, with the United States agreeing to reach a 28% level below that of 2005 by 2025, and China agreeing to reduce its carbon emissions by getting 20% of its energy from non-fossil fuel sources by 2030.
Mitch also is upset the agreement leaves out some sort of working with a GOP that supports fossil fuel, something that would obviously be a formulaic waste of time as the GOP got what it had been demanding.
China has a deadline of 2030 to clean up its horrible, carbon filled atmosphere, but that does not mean they have to wait until 2030 to do it.
China had already invested $56.3 billion on renewable projects in 2013.

“Twenty percent does sound fairly robust,” Jake Schmidt, director of the international program at the Natural Resources Defense Council told the New York Times. “You’re talking about 20 percent of a huge economy being based on non-carbon-dioxide emissions sources. That’s significant.”
House Speaker John Boehner believes that the plan is “the latest example of the president’s crusade against affordable, reliable energy that is already hurting jobs and squeezing middle-class families.”
Climate denier, Senator Jim Inhofe, was a little confusing in his response since, according to him, the agreement is too ambitious on China’s end, yet not ambitious enough.
Inhofe called it a “non-binding charade” and cast doubt on whether China would be able to meet its commitments.
So I guess there isn’t a point in even trying?
Wouldn’t the effort alone, even if not 100% successful still mean there was some movement?
“It’s hollow and not believable for China to claim it will shift 20 percent of its energy to non-fossil fuels by 2030, and a promise to peak its carbon emissions only allows the world’s largest economy to buy time. China builds a coal-fired power plant every 10 days, is the largest importer of coal in the world, and has no known reserves of natural gas.”
This week the guys in DC will be dealing with Keystone.
Lots of bills like those related to the middle class, jobs, and veterans have yet to be dealt with, but the House voted for the Keystone XL pipeline right away when they returned after the elections.
I guess they had to pay their debt to those who paid to get them elected.
And seeing how dumb the electorate was by handing them a mandate with 51% of the 33% percent who voted, the GOP seems to think they can fool the American people by saying that Canadian tar sands oil is a domestic product.
