The Hill reported on how the crummy GOPs in Congress are going to try to mess with the commitments made by the USA in the Paris climate pact.
Led by arch climate nemesis Senator James Inhofe, they're going to try to cut funding, tell groups how not to follow rules, and of course try to elect somebody like Ted Cruz as our next President.
This is annoying. Hopefully most of it won't work.
Republicans grope for way to kill Paris climate agreement
"Many hoped that the Green Climate Fund was their best chance to do just that.
As negotiators were hashing out a final climate pact, Republicans vowed to block American contribution to the fund, an international pool of public and private money directed to help poorer nations prepare for the effects of climate change.
But the omnibus spending deal passed this week allows Obama to find funding elsewhere in the federal budget, effectively taking the matter out of Congress’s hands."
