California Says It Will Seek Its Own “International Agreement” With China Over Climate Change.

Via The Independent:

California is to seek its own “international” agreement on climate change with China, the state’s governor has suggested.

Jerry Brown, who previously signalled the west coast state was “ready to fight” Donald Trump over the issue, said he would discuss merging China’s and California’s carbon trading markets on a visit to Beijing.

Carbon trading, also known as cap-and-trade, is seen as an important mechanism for driving down greenhouse gas emissions and California’s market is already linked to the one in Quebec, Canada.

Essentially large sources of carbon are given a cap on emissions, beyond which they cannot go unless they buy an allowance. The allowances are sold by companies that reduce emissions below their cap, creating a double incentive to make cuts.

Hey Jerry, read the Constitution and associated laws about international treaties you asshole. Article 1, Section 10:

U.S. Constitution - Article 1 Section 10

Article 1 - The Legislative Branch
Section 10 - Powers Prohibited of States

No State shall enter into any Treaty, Alliance, or Confederation; grant Letters of Marque andReprisal; coin Money; emit Bills of Credit; make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts; pass any Bill of Attainder, ex post facto Law, or Law impairing the Obligation of Contracts, or grant any Title of Nobility.

No State shall, without the Consent of the Congress, lay any Imposts or Duties on Imports or Exports, except what may be absolutely necessary for executing it's inspection Laws: and the net Produce of all Duties and Imposts, laid by any State on Imports or Exports, shall be for the Use of the Treasury of the United States; and all such Laws shall be subject to the Revision and Controul of the Congress.

No State shall, without the Consent of Congress, lay any duty of Tonnage, keep Troops, or Ships of War in time of Peace, enter into any Agreement or Compact with another State, or with a foreign Power, or engage in War, unless actually invaded, or in such imminent Danger as will not admit of delay.

States can't enter into foreign agreements. Unless you leave the union you can. So when is your libtard communist state leaving? Once again, Democrats are putting everyone else in the world before the American citizens they are suppose to be representing! There was a time in this country when that would motivate real Americans to build gallows or find a tall oak tree. So go ahead youcommie punk, make Trump's day, and Sessions will have you arrested for not upholding the Constitution per your oath of office. (not that it means anything to these anti-American types).
