Dutifully toeing the free-trade, globalization party line, Congress overwhelmingly voted to repeal the country-of-origin-labeling rule (COOL) as part of the staggering omnibus spending bill it passed on Friday.
Panicked by the $1 billion worth of punitive import tariffs that would be levied against the US by the World Trade Organization if the rule remained in effect, the legislature quickly sent the bill to President Obama’s desk, who wasted no time signing it and the provision disposing of COOL into law.

This is all about NAFTA and its takeover of our economy…follow the money!
Utterly off topic I know but I thought this might be an interesting discussion point. If the Paris accord is maintained then ( happy to source and go into more detail if needed) then it is estimated – neither side of the “debate” challenge this – that around 80% of the current in ground Oil and gas resources have to stay in the ground over the next 35 years. Clearly this would shift the current power and political base of many countries but particularly the Saudi’s and others in that region.
What then? Will the Saudi’s then fall in influence? Will the rest of the world allow this to occur in order to meet the Paris accord? Will this draw the worlds nations into a new war that has less to do with oil and more to do with maintaining our climate?
