On Thursday a report emerged that the Trump administration tried to remove the phrase 'climate change' from an international statement on Arctic policy while Senate Republicans refused to take up a bill on the Paris climate agreement.

President Donald Trump and the Republican Party are continuing their efforts to curb domestic and international climate change action by either trying to water down eco-friendly proposals or reject them altogether.

According to the Post, the Trump administration specifically tried to get rid of the phrase “climate change” entirely and any references to the 2016 Paris international climate agreement, a treaty that President Trump quickly abandoned after entering office. “Our American colleagues strongly oppose even mentioning the Paris climate agreement in the strategy, as well as the United Nations' 2030 sustainable development goals,” Lavrov said. “All others are confident that the strategy will be watered down if we fail to do that. So serious work lies ahead.”

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell told his colleagues that the legislation was a “futile gesture to handcuff the U.S. economy through the ill-fated Paris deal” and that it would “go nowhere here in the Senate.” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said on Thursday morning that it’s “time to end denial about climate change and start listening to the facts. This is about science, science, science.”
