 ,tonko1 and ,mr4 ,cohen7 submitted the 
following resolution2 which was referred
 to the ,committee on ,foreign ,affairs 
,,resolution  ,expressing the commitment
 of the ,house of ,representatives to   
continue to support pledges made by the 
,united ,states in the ,paris           
,agreement4  ,whereas the year #bjaf was
 the hottest year in the modern         

temperature record2 ,whereas there is   
increasing consensus among scientists   
and economists that there will be       
serious economic consequences if we fail
 to reduce global carbon emissions      
quickly2 ,whereas a rising temperature  
due to a changing climate will          
irreversibly damage the global economy2 
,whereas if left unaddressed1 the       
consequences of a rising global         
temperature will have the potential to  
adversely impact all ,americans1 hitting
 vulnerable populations hardest1 hurting
 working families1 and harming          
productivity in middle class job sectors
 such as construction1 agriculture1 and 
tourism1 among others2 ,whereas there   
has been an increase in extreme weather 
events across the ,united ,states which 
have affected supply chains1 consumer   
behaviors1 and local economies2 ,whereas
 the ,paris ,agreement provides a       
pathway forward to limit temperature    
rise to well below #b degrees ,celsius2 
,whereas the ,paris ,agreement sends a  

powerful signal to the world that       
climate change is an immediate problem  
facing the planet in the #bast century2 
,whereas if the ,united ,states         
withdraws from the ,paris ,agreement1   
the ,united ,states will face an        
international diplomatic backlash2 and  
,whereas if the ,united ,states         
withdraws from the ,paris ,agreement1   
the ,united ,states will cede leadership
 on climate change and renewable energy 
issues to ,china3 ,now1 therefore1 be it
  ,that the ,house of ,representatives  
commits to-- 7#a7 work with our allies  
that signed the ,paris ,agreement2 and  
7#b7 take meaningful action to ensure   
that the ,president of ,united ,states  
does not issue an ,executive order to   
withdraw from the ,paris ,agreement4
