Obama's "Secret Deal"

Obama's "Secret Deal" is not a secret any more.

Barack Obama, has tried to cover up a very secret deal with China, at least according to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell. Obama's not so secret deal with Chinese President Xi Jinping is to curb carbon emissions for both countries.The deal that Obama had done has been criticized as giving China nothing to do to curb carbon emissions, while the U.S. has to work even harder to curb emissions. The New York Times stated that studies predict that if the world does not curb carbon emissions, the temperature of the world will go up by 3.2 degrees Fahrenheit. Obama's deal proposal is to emit 28 percent less carbon by 2025, while China has to agree to using 20% more renewable energy sources, such as nuclear power and hydroelectric power, and would have its maximum emissions at 2030, according to cbn. A pretty bad deal according to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell.

During the elections, Mitch McConnell used the coal of Kentucky to win support. Now, Senator Majority Leader, Mitch McConnell is upset at Obama's "secret dealing". Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said it is unachievable, would hurt the American economy and job economy, and China has to do nothing for the next decade, while Obama said it is achievable. McConnell also said how Obama is just putting more work on to the next person in office. This makes complete sense, as Obama's term ends soon, thanks Obama. However, Obama has gained approval from Senators that support lowering emissions. Obama may have gained approval with other environmental friendly supporters, but the Republicans may be more defiant whenever Obama decides to pass a bill or law, good luck Obama.The deal will be discussed later this year in Paris.

Obama stated to reduce carbon emissions, as stated in my last post, but he can not keep his word, as he wants to reduce emissions sooner. Hopefully, China and America will lower their emissions without any problems. India is interested too, but wants it to be cheap. This deal may impact other nations to lower their emission levels too, but by then the world may be too polluted and it will take many more years to fix our Earth.
