"In tandem with Chinese President Xi Jinping’s state visit to the U.S., China announced details of its plan to limit greenhouse gas emissions.
That’s all well and good considering China is the world’s largest emitter, accounting for nearly a third of all emissions.
But does anyone trust that China’s plan will actually slow “global warming”?
But never mind that.
The important thing is the agreement gives Barack Obama a feather in his cap going into the climate summit in Paris this December.
Indeed, Obama’s climate agenda is paramount, and it is what Mark Alexander called an “end run on Liberty.”
And what better partner than Red China?
Besides, he’s got to hammer out the details of last November’s agreement that Obama unilaterally made in the wake of his staggering midterm election defeat.
Getting China on board is critical, not just to show “leadership” at the Paris climate summit, but to (Obama thinks) pull the rug out from under opponents of his agenda.
...On a final note, 2015 is the Chinese Year of the Goat, which is apparently the role Xi has in mind for Obama."
