But yes the 21 Republicans that voted for it. If not another smoke filled backroom deal another example of what happens after throwing some hot button emotional issues at RINOs.

Is this the work of "special climate envoy' Kerry?
There's pork in it for those 21 Republicans somewhere. They wouldn't side with the Dems unless they were offered something in return for their votes.

I'm happy to see the U.S. finally joining the rest of the world in facing this issue.
Hopefully the world will cool off now! I had no idea the solution to Climate Change was deficit spending.

No, it was Alan Gore.

He should say the largest one-two punch against the American economy, the American working class and individual freedom. BTW, anyone see what the stock market did in response?

The stipidity of the Left joined by the stupidity of RINOs. Kissing cousins. 90% of Republicans opposed.

The idea that 1 cross-over vote constitutes "bipartisanship" is yet another bastardization of the English language to serve the Leftist agenda. The term "bipartisan" used to mean that a significant cross-party vote contributed to its passing. Once again the mainstream media, acting as Das Reich propagandists have hijacked a useful term and stood it on its head to mean an outlier vote within an opposing party.

10% of the GOP voting for something the Left wants is anything but bipartisan. Not even close.

Climate change supporters are so dumb. They actually believe that somehow this bit of legislation will magically make things better, but of course, they don't realize that Europe, Africa, India, Pakistan, China, etc, etc don't support stupidity such as this.

It's time to kick the UN to the curb where they belong.

Virtue signaling has reached an existential level and will destroy this country. more specifically, the left wing radicals, now mainstream democrat party is now destroying the country.

Tossing out tidbits of scientific jargon makes experts out of political hacks and befuddles the masses.

Elite drawn them out for the rest of us. They don't oblige to it, after all, they can buy carbon credits from the company they own. They still fly around in their private jets. For the rest of us, too bad, we aren't reach enough.
