Yeah, good point. But with “allies” like Romney and Collins, who knows?

Even if they did- it would amount to zero change in climate- reducing man’s CO2 from just 0.00136% of the atmosphere to say 0.000136% (which will take massive amounts of money to do and send us back into the pre electricity and gas engine dark ages) will do absolutely zero to change the climate- There is no thick blanket of CO2 trapping heat globally- and so there is no chance of global warming due to CO2- the climate is driven by the sun- period-

Weak sauce to take into the election, but it’s all they have. Moving industry to non-compliant nations isn’t going to push the clouds across the sky and only an idiot would think otherwise.

Wasting their time and our money when they should be funding “The Wall”.

As useful as trying to repeal Obamacare was when Dems were in control...just grandstanding.

You can’t force the US to enter or stay in a treaty by a vote in the House. Silly Democrats.

From Wiki.
“the agreement is considered an “executive agreement rather than a treaty””

Hmmm.

Vern Buchanan voted for this crap? He is pretty good, but I wonder why he voted for it.

Passing the house is meaningless. Even passing the house AND senate would still be meaningless, since we are talking about a treaty that would require 2/3 of the senate to ratify, and that never happened.

Let’s see...the Dems are this year’s ‘Know Nothing’ Party. Unfortunately, the original Know Nothing was American...not a bunch of Socialists, Islam loving, Anti Americans!
