House Dem to offer measure backing Paris climate deal

 

A House Democrat is working with his colleagues to introduce a nonbinding measure to support the Paris climate agreement.

 

Rep. Jared Huffman’s (D-Calif.) resolution, if it gets a vote in the full House, would be a rebuke to President Trump’s 2017 decision to pull out of the climate pact.

 

Depending on the timing, it could be the first major action House Democrats take to push back against Trump’s environmental policies since they took over the chamber’s majority earlier this month.

 

Huffman hasn’t gotten any assurances from Democratic leadership on whether the chamber would vote on his resolution, but said he’s hopeful the vote can happen by Earth Day.
