In 2009, the Obama administration derailed the United Nations climate talks when negotiations between other nations were working towards binding carbon limits. The resultant 2015 Paris agreement is entirely voluntary with carbon commitments that are inadequate to mitigate climate change. The Paris Treaty amounts to 'too little, too late.'
Obama's Clean Power Plan incentivizes more gas and more nuclear power. These are dirty energies that not only add to climate gases but cause widespread environmental and health problems.
