WASHINGTON, D.C. – On Friday, Dec. 4, 2015, U.S. Senator John Barrasso (R-WY), chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Subcommittee on Multilateral International Development, Multilateral Institutions, and International Economic, Energy, and Environmental Policy, released a new report entitled: Senate Outlook on United States International Strategy on Climate Change in Paris 2015.
The report outlines how President Obama plans to bypass Congress and transfer American taxpayer funds overseas. It also highlights how the president is undermining American sovereignty and binding the American people to targets and timetables for greenhouse gas reduction targets in Paris.
"President Obama is so desperate for a climate deal in Paris that he will do anything he can to get one. This includes undermining U.S. sovereignty and misusing American taxpayer dollars to grease the wheels," said Chairman Barrasso. "The president needs to understand that Congress does not support this pay-to-play promise. This new report details how the president’s agenda in Paris is threatening jobs, industries and communities at home."
Key Findings Highlighted in the Report:
• The president is forcing American taxpayers to pay for past economic success through his contributions to the Green Climate Fund.
• The president and foreign nations in Paris plan to bypass Congress to reach a climate change deal, thus eliminating the voice of the American people who are opposed to his climate change policies.
• The president is demonstrating failed leadership as he is making false promises to foreign countries about his capability to meet his greenhouse gas reduction targets.
• By undermining American sovereignty and binding the American people to targets and timetables for greenhouse gas reduction targets in Paris, the president is threatening jobs, industries and communities at home.
