Just months before the most important U.N. climate conference in years, Republican appropriators in the House of Representatives are taking aim at one of the Obama administration’s most cherished priorities—international climate change funding.

An appropriations bill for the State Department and foreign operations, released Tuesday, excludes funding for three major climate initiatives—the Green Climate Fund, the Clean Technology Fund, and the Strategic Climate Fund—and also removes funding for the U.N.-backed Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).

What, the House has rediscovered the power of the purse, never mind having the guts to defund any part of the sacred UN? Let’s see how long this bit of political football lasts; something tells me there is going to be a fumble on second down.

Since Zer0 pledged 3 billion to the climate change fund, then its time to open his personal checkbook.

I’ll believe it when it actually passes. Then they should get on with defunding the better part of the kenyan’s entire administration.

Ditto.

Personally, I think most announcements like this are smoke & mirrors. Pubbies want credit for their so called "intentions" when most of the time they never reach the finish line. And never had plans to do so.

All that counts is results. Go get some stones and really do your job when the heavy lifting is needed. Bunch of damn pansies.

With them, it’s not called “caving”.

First news of this posted on FR before Shortly after 9 AM. As of almost 9 PM, there are under 40 posts on two threads combined.

I think that shows just how much faith people have in “Lesser Evil” being the proper course of action even if they refuse to speak against it openly.

As always, actions speak louder than words.

Of course, there is no such thing as “lesser evil” when it comes to the Uniparty.

Nope, just a bunch of people with creative excuses about their unique circumstances to keep supporting evil.
