Republicans upset with President Barack Obama’s international climate change agreement remain committed to the few options they have to do something about it.
“Honestly, I never feel helpless,†insisted Rep. Mike Kelly, R-Pa., one of the leaders in the House opposing Obama’s climate change plans.
“Whatever is going to happen today is going to happen today. This is a generational battle. If we think after one battle, one skirmish, we should throw in the towel, we are not leading the America that we have been entrusted with.â€
Way down in the article they note that the historic agreement is non-binding, voluntary, and has no force of law. All Republicans need to do is refuse to fund it….yeah, about that
(The Hill) In a victory for the Obama administration, the spending package released by congressional leaders on Wednesday won’t block American financial contributions to an international climate fund for poorer nations.
The bill, greens and Democrats say, doesn’t explicitly appropriate funding for President Obama’s pledged contribution to the Green Climate Fund (GCF). But since the legislation doesn’t formally block money for the GCF either, Obama is expected to be able to use current discretionary funding streams to send American money to it.
“Based on what we have reviewed so far, there are no restrictions on our ability to make good on the president’s pledge to contribute to the Green Climate Fund,†White House press secretary Josh Earnest said on Wednesday.
Fortunately, Obama will use the hard earned tax money of American’s that the GOP didn’t block to fund foolish, un-scientific ventures in other nations.
