"While the executive branch and Congress both play an important role in the foreign policy of our nation, Congress ultimately holds the power of the purse. We pledge that Congress will not allow U.S. taxpayer dollars to go to the Green Climate Fund until the forthcoming international climate agreement is submitted to the Senate for its constitutional advice and consent," the letter says.
Talk is tough before Ryan and McConnell get a hold of the issue then the stage is all set for a traditional GOPe CAVE!!!

These 37 Senators must be trying out for the joke of the month club. Obama won’t even pause in what he is doing and saying. Congress has neutered itself and unless it is willing to cut off the funds for Executive Branch operations, Obama will just have another laugh.

“Forcing Green Politics on Pension Funds
The Wall Street Journal ^ | November 18, 2015 | Andy Kessler
Last month the Obama administration’s Labor Department issued Interpretive Bulletin 2015-01, which tells pension funds what factors to use when choosing investments, including climate change. Only a few tax lawyers noticed, but with U.S. pensions at $9 trillion, this is a gross power grab that will hurt the retirees it claims to protect.
This government is essentially saying: Don’t you dare invest in anything that causes or is hurt by climate change, or you’ll be sued for failing your fiduciary responsibilities. Energy, utilities and industrials are 20% of the market. How can pension funds now own any of them?
Pushing politics on retirement funds will destroy returns. One little secret on Wall Street is that Erisa rules drive hedge funds to avoid pension money. It slows them down. As pension funds divest, hedge funds and other managers will gladly buy up undervalued climate-challenged companies.”
