Defying Trump, Senate panel approves funding for U.N. climate body
Reuters ^ | September 8, 2017 | by Valerie Volcovici

The U.S. Senate Appropriations Committee passed a spending bill on Thursday evening that includes $10 million to help fund the United Nations’ climate change body that oversees the Paris Climate Agreement, despite President Donald Trump’s decision to stop funding it.

The amendment passed 16-14. Republican Senators Susan Collins of Maine and Lamar Alexander of Tennessee voted in favor, as did all committee Democrats except for West Virginia’s Joe Manchin.

The 30-member Senate panel, which allocates federal funds to various government agencies and organizations, approved a $51 billion spending bill for the State Department and foreign operations, which included an amendment to continue funding the U.N. Framework Convention on Climate Change as well as the scientific body the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.

Kill it. Trump should say No. Veto any bill giving funding for AGW propagandizing. If Ivanka wants it, let her pay for it out of her own pocket. Do not spend our tax money on this.

He needs to not only kill it, but explain, in very simple and concise sentences, precisely why he is killing it.

A panel does not a Senate make. We need to repeal and replace Congress.

One of the vilest things congress does, is tack on horrible items onto bills that are otherwise good and necessary. Line item vetoing would help a lot, here.

From the same people who say we’re all going to die from global warming, an example of their predictive capabilities:

“Peak oil is now.” German Energy Watch Group –2008

“By 2012, surplus oil production capacity could entirely disappear..…” U.S. Department of Defense –2008 & 2010.

“A global peak is inevitable. The timing is uncertain, but the window is rapidly narrowing.” UK Energy Research Centre -2009

“The next five years will see us face … the oil crunch.” UK Industry Taskforce on Peak Oil and Energy Security –2009
