Obama cuts first check under climate deal
Washington Examiner ^ | 3/8/16 | John Siciliano

The Obama administration sent the first $500 million to the United Nations' Green Climate Fund this week, thumbing its nose at Republican opponents who say taxpayers shouldn't be on the hook for the money.

Critics of the U.S. participating in the fund came out against the president's actions Tuesday.

"President Obama continues to prioritize his political interests over the interests of the American people," said Tom Pyle, president of the conservative American Energy Alliance. "The administration intends to funnel hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars into the U.N.'s climate slush fund while pursuing a domestic agenda that will raise energy costs and leave all Americans poorer."

The payment is part of the climate deal President Obama helped pull together in Paris in December. The $500 million is part of a $3 billion commitment to the fund by the U.S. to help poorer countries cope with the effects of climate change.

Just where did the money come from? Obama’s stash?! It had to be appropriated somewhere. He didn’t just pull it out of his butt.

Did Congress appropriate funds for Obama to do this; that is, $500 million for climate change funding? Or, did the usurper in the White Hut do this on his own?
