Obama Administration Announces It Is Seeking A Non-Legally Binding Climate Accord

NY Times: Obama Is Seeking "Politically Binding" Rather Than Legally Binding International Climate Agreement. The New York Times reported that the Obama administration is seeking a "politically binding" rather than legally binding agreement that would "name and shame" nations that don't comply at the upcoming United Nations summit meeting in 2015:
The Obama administration is working to forge a sweeping international climate change agreement to compel nations to cut their planet-warming fossil fuel emissions, but without ratification from Congress.
In preparation for this agreement, to be signed at a United Nations summit meeting in 2015 in Paris, the negotiators are meeting with diplomats from other countries to broker a deal to commit some of the world's largest economies to enact laws to reduce their carbon pollution. But under the Constitution, a president may enter into a legally binding treaty only if it is approved by a two-thirds majority of the Senate.
To sidestep that requirement, President Obama's climate negotiators are devising what they call a "politically binding" deal that would "name and shame" countries into cutting their emissions. 
it makes you wonder why someone on the right wing that cares about their base won't just come out and say "it's for 6 years all been a lie", are they afraid that since they moronically passed carry laws and sold their people every gun on earth that after being woken to the truth that they may get shot multiple times by multiple people carrying multiple guns and multiple bullets and multiple clips or are they content to leave them in the dark stumbling and blaming Pres. for what the ones they voted for did to their families?
what are they going to say when climate change ends the world hope their base is already dead or to weak to do any kind of revenge?  that would be od course if they didn't manage to start a nuclear war.
either way they are misleading and give less than gnat crap about you and it's effects.

as to deals yeah he is for them to cut back on their carbon print and do more to stop the contributing to the end of the world and seek green fuels, but are they the republicans just confused as usual or spinning truths in to their kinda misinformation?
