House Republicans doubt other countries will live up to Paris agreement

House Republicans have no faith that other countries will live up to their climate change promises made in the Paris agreement and criticized President Obama on Tuesday for skirting Senate ratification of the deal.

Republicans in the House Committee on Science, Space and Technology lined up to take shots at the climate change deal reached in December. Some questioned whether climate change is really happening, called out Obama’s administration for skirting congressional approval of the deal and cast doubts on other countries’ ability and desire to follow through with their commitments.
