The U.S.Senate never gave their 2/3rds of members-present advice and consent to the 1969 Vienna Convention:Article 26,Law of Treaties,so it's unlikely that we'll sign onto the Paris Treaty,which would be binding,mandating obligation,monitoring,obeyance,,enforcement.
The President's presidential-executive agreements,court opinion legal authority is being challenged.
And it appears that the Senate is unlikely to give their 2/3rds vote to anything that smells of carbon emissions mitigation.Senator Mitch Mcconnell's millions in campaign finance funds from fossil-fuels seems to impact his cognitive abilities on Capital Hill.
