The House approved a bill to address climate change and GOP Rep. Matt Gaetz suggested compromising with Democrat Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

House Democrats -- and three Republicans -- voted Thursday to force President Donald Trump to make plans to sharply curb American greenhouse gas emissions and keep the U.S. in the Paris climate accord, which Trump renounced last year.

The 2015 Paris climate accord, agreed to by President Barack Obama, set targets for global greenhouse gas emission reductions aimed and committed signatories to do more to slow the threat of climate change. In 2017, Trump moved to withdraw U.S. participation in the accord by 2020. "I didn't come to Congress to argue with a thermometer," Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., told ABC News Live."It seems foolish to deny the obvious signs of climate change."
