Washington (CNN) -- Top Congressional Republican leaders quickly criticized the U.S.-China climate change pact to cut carbon emissions that President Barack Obama announced while traveling in Asia.

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, House Speaker John Boehner and Sen. Jim Inhofe, who is expected to chair the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee, slammed the agreement in statements released shortly after the deal was announced Wednesday.

"I read the agreement - requires the Chinese to do nothing at all for 16 years while these carbon emission regulations are creating havoc in my state and other states around the country," McConnell, who hails from the coal state of Kentucky, said on Capitol Hill.

President Barack Obama announced Wednesday with Chinese President Xi Jinping that the U.S. will cut its 2005 level of carbon emissions by 26-28% by 2025 while China committed to creating more energy from zero-emission sources and begin reducing its emissions footprint by 2030.

Boehner called the deal another example of Obama's "job-crushing policies."

"And it is the latest example of the president's crusade against affordable, reliable energy that is already hurting jobs and squeezing middle-class families," Boehner said in a statement Wednesday.

Good for Boehner! Now the rest of Congress needs to start speaking out on behalf of the people and shut Obama down.

One of my brothers, who lived 4 yrs in Shanghai, is again consulting in China.

He actually jogs there, which doesn't strike me as a sound pulmonary plan.

Democrat leftists are elitists. They believe they're entitled to the finer things while the masses should all be "just the same", for the masses own good, of course. You my friend have a carbon limit because you're just a peon...of course they don't have limits.

As Jonathan Gruber pointed out, "We have to tell the masses what to think, for their own good or else they won't go along with us because they're stupid." He was paid $400K by Obama for that advise.
