‘Doomed to Failure’: International Climate Agreement Will Likely Just Repeat Failed Kyoto Protocol, Senate Report Says

[WestVirginiaRebel]

The Blaze:

The Paris climate agreement the Obama administration is set to sign onto Friday with 54 other countries will likely be even less effective than the famous failed climate accord the Clinton administration signed, according to a Senate report.

 

The report by the Senate Environmental and Public Works Committee is titled “Lessons From Kyoto: Paris Agreement Will Fail National Economies and the Climate.” President Bill Clinton’s administration entered the Kyoto Protocol in 1997.

 

“It is amazing how little has changed over time. The Paris agreement, like the Kyoto agreement, is full of empty promises that will have no meaningful impact on the climate,” Sen. James Inhofe (R-Okla.), the committee chairman, said.

 

Secretary of State John Kerry will be at the United Nations headquarters in New York Friday to formally sign an agreement reached at the 21st U.N. Framework Convention on Climate Change in Paris in December. The nations are gathering at the U.N. headquarters on “International Mother Earth Day.”

 

But after the celebration is over, reality will set in, Inhofe predicted.

 

“The problem with international climate change agreements is that they ignore basic economic and political realities and, therefore, are doomed to failure,” Inhofe added. “When the hype over the signing fades, the reality will set in that the policies President Obama is promising will not last. President Obama is simply using this so-called historic success to cement his legacy with environmental activists shortly before his term is up.”

But it will give a bunch of politicians and bureaucrats an excuse to visit Paris or some tropical isle in their private jets for the next "meeting."
