Seventeen congressional Republicans signed a resolution on Wednesday vowing to seek "economically viable" ways to stave off global warming, challenging the stated views of President Donald Trump, who has called climate change a hoax.

Republicans Elise Stefanik of New York, Carlos Curbelo of Florida and Ryan Costello of Pennsylvania introduced the legislation in the U.S. House of Representatives, pledging to "study and address the causes and effects of measured changes to our global and regional climates" and seek ways to "balance human activities" that contribute.

Several Republicans who signed the resolution, which is non-binding, represent parts of the country most affected. Curbelo hails from Miami, where streets regularly flood at high tide due to rising sea levels.

An overwhelming majority of scientists say human activity - including the burning of oil, gas and coal - is the main driver of rising global temperatures. Most Republicans either dispute that or disagree that it is an urgent problem.

Not surprising.

[Mr. Douglas]

He’s forcing them out of the closet. Hence my tag line.

[Mr. Douglas]

An overwhelming majority of scientists say human activity...

That’s a farce right up there with the “fact” that we only use 10% of our brain. This stuff dies hard.

[Cicero]

Give them the boot. No more pork.

[EagleUSA]

RINOs trying to up their votes from the ignorant, stupid left.

I prefer to look at it as Trump challenges Congress (and conventional "wisdom") in declaring globull warming/climate "change" (referred to as "weather" by normal people) as bunk.

Reuters. (spit).

In response to these 17 Savants, turn off the Energy from the Sun and in 4 days the Earth will turn into a ball of ice. So I ask this Gang of 17, What Causes periods of Global Warming & Cooling on Earth?

What a load of horse squeeze. Miami streets flood because it is built on a sand bar that succeeded.

Carlos Curbelo of Florida
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

One of Soros’ stooges.

[BlueLancer]

"Miami streets flood because it is built on a sand bar that succeeded."

Subsided?

[gibsonguy]

Will they be joined by Rex, Maddis, Ivanka and her husband? Did Trump announce the rollback of the nearly impossible emissions standards Obongo imposed on his out the door like he was supposed to? I thought was coming today.

[crosdaddy]

Receded?

[\/\/ayne]

What’s worse than being a Global Warming idiot? Being an Global Warming idiot while calling others idiotic because they don’t subscribe to your Global Warming idiocy.

[Thom Pain]

They can “join the fight” by pissing away their own money and NOT MINE!!!!

[New Jersey Realist]

So they don’t mind destroying the Great Barrier Reef?

[Responsibility2nd]

I’m sure these morons didn’t sign off on this just to spite Trump.

So why is HemiReuters trying to tie this non-issue to Pres. Trump?

~sigh~ Anything to get in a dig at Trump. This is getting old. But we better get used to it for the next 8 years.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Here comes the “republicans”. Hold on to your wallet.

[LouAvul]

Ok? So? We've known all along that the Repugnant Congress is just as treacherous as Jorge Busho and the rest of their ilk.

Heck, I trust communist faggot atheist abortion docs more than our RINOs. At least we know where the fag stands.

[Parmy]

Just how do these dummies propose to stop the weather? Before addressing global warming or climate change, they might try to stop the cold weather in the Northeast and Atlantic Coast.
