The Climate Action Now Act would require President Donald Trump to develop a plan for the United States to meet the goals it committed to in the Paris agreement to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions and block federal funds from being used to advance the formal U.S. withdrawal from the pact. The bill, which passed along party lines, as expected, with three Republicans backing the measure, was meant to signal to the international community that many Americans support the Paris agreement regardless of Trump’s decision to abandon it.

Senate majority leader Mitch McConnell said the Senate would not take up the legislation, dismissing the bill as “political theater” by Democrats.

Looking forward to seeing President Trump on his state visit to the United Kingdom

Absolutely none of this will do a thing for or about climate change if you don't start at square one: the human population.

Pity about the morons in the senate. A signal yes. Intention No. Mitch has to go

Vetoed

Senate won't go along with it. And Trump 👎

They can back all they want but they can’t do anything. They have no power to do so.

Suddenly

DOA
