Staking Out Battle Lines, House Votes to Keep U.S. in Paris Climate Pact

[yortsed snacilbuper]

The House passed a bill on Thursday that would block President Trump from abandoning the Paris Agreement on climate change and require his administration to devise a plan to cut America’s greenhouse gas emissions.

The measure, which passed 231-190, was the first big global warming legislation to win congressional approval in almost 10 years. It stands virtually no chance of approval in the Republican-controlled Senate. But with the vote, Democrats sought to tie Republicans to Mr. Trump, who has said that climate change is a hoax, and isolate them on an issue they believe is resonating strongly with voters.

Three Republicans voted in favor. No Democrats opposed it.

It just doesn't seem right that one representative can single-handedly kill legislation that could potentially affect the future of civilization on the planet...

2. Mitch is on a decade long god-complex. Most dangerous traitor in the country.
