WASHINGTON—House Democrats will seek to move beyond internal divisions over how best to combat climate change and unify behind a bill aimed at preventing President Trump from exiting the Paris Agreement.
The bill, set for a vote Thursday, would require the Trump administration to submit an annual plan to Congress for meeting the U.S. commitment to the Paris Agreement, which the U.S. joined under President Obama and seeks to limit average global temperature increases to 2 degrees Celsius. Mr. Trump has moved to leave the accord...
Veto!
Let the DEM-witse pay for the costs of the Paris Accord, not U.S. industry & taxpayers. Also don't sign unless all industrial nation's have same obligations within same time frame. Further U.S. $22+ trillion in debt and can't afford to pay third world countries.
FYI only the US has cut their carbon foot print since the treat was put in place
It's not even legit in first place...
Those Dems, they always have their finger on the hot button issue Americans care about............
Can't they offer a sensible alternative?
Why? What do we benefit from being in the agreement?
I’m hot
Waste of time, Nancy! You clowns don’t control the Senate!
Silly and stupid these dems are so ignorant and misguided.
good luck with that
If they’re mad they should be mad at obama. He signed it in a way the US could get out cuz he knew it couldnt get passed in congress cuz the deal was so outrageously bad for US. Liberals are spineless snakes.
I’m sure the Republican senate will pass it and Trump will sign it ASAP! 👍🇺🇸🧐
Breaking news! The democrats are rallying behind ANYTHING the President is for.
ZERO chance in US Senate ! Senate ONLY & EXCLUSIVELY has to ratify treaties !
What idiots! They know it's dead on arrival.
With our country trying to fend off tens of thousands of illegal immigrants coming into our country, this is what the House Dems are concerned about? They have no concept of the needs of our country. No solutions as well!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 poor communists
p.s. One more necessary step to protect the planet. Quit using one term Climate Change~call it Planet Protection~focus on each problematic area: climate change (CO2) get all the damn cardboard Amazon uses out of the supply chain; land ecology, general pollution, nuke energy, etc.
Going no where, bunch of Democrats blow hands
The Paris agreement is a weak, watered down accord. China is the biggest emitter of CO2 now and is exempt from the agreement. Coal is their addiction. SO, we need a new agreement that holds all countries equally accountable. Dems are so behind the times on this! New accord please
Obama stuffed it up for Democrats because he never dared put the Paris Accord before Congress. He simply did it on his own accord without Congress's approval.
Of course they are. Democrats are the most angry hate filled people. Not one of them has any grace.
Climate!? Really!? Let’s fix Venezeula and protect human lives and than worry about that... can we agree to that? please
These fraudsters never give up. Zero credibility
Is the Paris agreement the best way to protect the environment?
I was under the impression that treaty ratification lied solely with the Senate. Doesn't this mean the President lacks the unilateral power to accept or reject treaties? Why muddy the waters of the separation of powers?
More of our hard earned dollars going to other countries so all involved are again enabled to fly private, and live oh so large in our dime, while hiding behind a climate agenda? Nope
Idiots
Lol
Another example of how the Democrats are going to waste time and tax dollars.
Why on Earth would they do that? They know they lost the election to Trump right? He ran on a platform of tearing this agreement to pieces and voters chose him as a result. Definition of insanity. Dems should look it up 😎
YELLOWVESTS
The Paris Agreement does nothing for the environment. All it does is create a tradable green credit so rich people can manipulate to get richer. It’s a joke.
Ha, like the other countries apart of it are doing jack and shit.
