Senate ratifies climate treaty that will raise cost of home appliances 'The last thing the American people need right now is another household necessity rising in price'

The Senate on Wednesday ratified an international treaty that mandates nations to phase out hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) to protect the earth’s ozone layer, which will impose new standards that will raise the costs of air conditioning and refrigeration.

A group of 50 Senate Democrats and 19 Republicans voted to pass the Kigali Amendment to the 1987 United Nations (UN) Montreal Protocol. The amendment, which 27 Republicans voted to oppose, will limit the production and use of HFCs, man-made chemicals that are primarily used for cooling and refrigeration, by 85% over 15 years, which could substantially increase consumer and business costs in related industries.

Therefore, any deviation above or below average is evidence of climate change.

That makes random deviations from the average abnormal, which is to say that normal conditions are abnormal. But then, words really don't have any fixed meanings, do they?

Welcome to Bizarro world.

We finally went with the Speed Queen washer and dryer.
I had two Fisher Paykels die after six years. Each time the board had to be replaced. The repair would have been over $300.

You have to start with the understanding that the ONLY source of legitimate federal government power is ONLY that which is delegated and enumerated in the Constitution which created the federal government.

So where does the Constitution give the feds power to regulate the American People proposed by this bill?

(This is not a treaty with a foreign government, it is a proposed US law. US laws MUST conform to the U.S. Constitution or it is an invalid and unenforceable law (US Const., Art. VI, Cl. 2).

btw, if you have an old dryer and you are pulling it out to clean the vent you might as well take the back off and clean it. Check the seals around the blower and the one by the vent. mine were disintegrated causing lint to escape around

“In refrigeration applications for which cost is not the main criterion, Peltier cooling appliances provide rapid cooling.”

Peltier coolers powered by solar panels. Remember, price is no object.

Please consider the following analysis of the Senate's unconstitutional (imo) actions concerning the indicated treaty.

By ratifying a treaty based on politically correct junk science (imo), the very corrupt, post-17th Amendment ratification Senate is wrongly trying to expand the powers of the already unconstitutionally big federal government.

Consider that Thomas Jefferson had first used his uncommon common sense as Secretary of State, then later his experience as president of the Senate, to point out that treaties cannot be used as backdoor to bypass the Constitution's Article V process for giving new powers to the fedreal government.

The Supreme Court later reflected Jefferson's words with the following clarification concerning the Senate abusing its power to confirm treaties.

"The obvious and decisive answer to this, of course, is that no agreement with a foreign nation can confer power on the Congress, or on any other branch of Government, which is free from the restraints of the Constitution." —Reid v. Covert, 1957.

Trump supporters in both Republican and Democratic parties need to vote Republican in November.

You skipped the horrid curly bulbs in your incomplete history essay. You also show no ability to distinguish between voluntary adoption of truly superior technologies, and government forced adoption of inferior technologies. At the time that government outlawed filament bulbs both compact fluorescent and LED lamps were very much inferior.

You receive a grade of “F” on your work.

Try to do better next time.

It was 21 rinos not 19 that supported the bill.

Again, the usual traitorous republican Rinos led by Mcconnel-Graham-Romney-Rubio wing of the party. Why have Rinos, when they vote like Democrats?

Blunt (R-MO), Yea
Boozman (R-AR), Yea
Burr (R-NC), Yea
Capito (R-WV), Yea
Cassidy (R-LA), Yea

Collins (R-ME), Yea
Ernst (R-IA), Yea

RINO Blunt has had a real scorched earth voting record to end his Senate career and (I assume) get ready for the posh lobbying world like his wife.
The votes I’ve seen are indistinguishable from the Dims.
