Sen. James Inhofe (R-OK) said Wednesday that Americans would not agree to pay the $3 billion [1] President Obama has promised [2] to contribute to the United Nations' Green Climate Fund.
The Green Climate Fund [3] is the collective pool of money pledged by U.N. members to help underdeveloped countries launch projects to reduce their carbon emissions.
âWhen it comes to the financing, I know that a lot of people over there, the 192 countries, are going to assume that Americans are going to line up and joyfully pay $3 billion into this fund,â Inhofe said during a hearing [4] of the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee, which he chairs. âBut that's not going to happen either.â
The committee met [5] Wednesday to discuss COP 21 [6], the upcoming international climate change talks sponsored by the U.N. that will begin Dec. 7 in Paris.
â[President Obama] did send information in that he's going to be reaching between a 26 and 28 percent reduction in emissions, but failed to say how he's going to do this,â Inhofe pointed out.

Ryan will pay. Ryan will double the amount.
Democrats are like races horses that never stumble but only run the wrong way.
Republicans are like race horses who stumble when they are going the right way.
As if we have a choice.
“Americans would not agree to pay the $3 billion”
Which is why all politicians want the fly-over peons taken out of the decision-making process.
Its up to Congress , Jim
I thought that is what it actually said when I first read it.
Ryan will take it from defense and va. Damned those pesky veterans like me who won’t just die for the sake of the children. Not sarcasm. I believe the GOPe, dims and this regieme feel this way. Looks like a cynicism day st the house. Best not read anymore news.
Obama will give $3 billion to the UN only if he gets a job fit for a Slug
Don’t puke but, he could be headed to the seat currently held by ban ki moon.
The perfect place to take pot shots at our country isn’t it? The un needs to be removed from US soil asap IMO.
Roger that. If memory serves me correctly (questionable) the land it sits on was made available by the rockefellers. I’m sure to be corrected if wrong.
Ryan is Boehner, only sober. This makes him far more dangerous.
Ryan was transparent years ago, but a little bit of research is way too much to ask.
I am shocked at the low amount. 3 billion is a drop in the bucket compared to what we spend on things.
What do Americans have to do with the disbursement of their money by Hussein and the bureaucrats?
