Climate Change News: House Democrats Rebuke Trump, Back Paris Climate Agreement
February 9, 2019
House Democrats on Friday introduced legislation in support of the 2015 Paris climate agreement after President Trump had announced a withdrawal in June 2017 citing that it would undermine the U.S. economy.
The nonbinding resolution, submitted by Rep. Jared Huffman of California, is considered a starting point in reaffirming the U.S. “commitment to the Paris Agreement and that the United States is still in and should not withdraw.”
