President Barack Obama moved ahead with plans this week to enter the United States into an international climate change agreement without Congressional approval.

On Wednesday, the White House submitted its blueprint for a 2015 climate deal to the United Nations, calling for a “bifurcated approach” of the 1997 Kyoto protocol which placed varying degrees of environmental obligations on developed and developing nations.

The deal presented this week would require the governments of 190 nations to set new targets to drive down emissions, holding the U.S. to the same standards of change as heavy polluters like China, India and other quickly-developing industrial Nations.

“There have been, and will continue to be, dramatic and dynamic shifts in countries’ emissions and economic profiles that make such an approach untenable, environmentally and otherwise,” the United States’ submission said.

Critics of Obama’s plan note that Congress never ratified the 1997 Kyoto Protocol that creates the groundwork for the new treaty proposal, even though it was signed by the Clinton Administration.

“So this is just the latest example of President Obama’s contempt for obeying the Constitution and our laws,” Myron Ebell, director of the Center of Energy and Environment at the Competitive Enterprise Institute, told The Daily Caller News Foundation. “In the past, rulers who act as if the law does not apply to them were called tyrants.”
