,mr4 ,inhofe1 ,mr4 ,wicker1 ,mr4 ,risch1
 ,mr4 ,enzi1 ,mr4 ,hatch1 and ,mr4      
,cruz7 submitted the following          
concurrent resolution2 which was        
referred to the ,committee on ,foreign  
,relations  ,,concurrent ,,resolution   
,expressing the sense of ,congress that 
the ,united ,states should withdraw from
 the ,paris ,agreement1 adopted in      
,december #bjae4  ,whereas the ,united  
,nations ,framework ,convention on      
,climate ,change 7in this resolution    
referred to as the ,convention71 adopted
 in ,may #aiib1 entered into force in   
#aiid and is being implemented2 ,whereas
 the ,paris ,agreement1 adopted in      
,december #bjae1 is another attempt by  
the ,convention's ,conference of        
,parties to globally address climate    
change1 similar to the ,kyoto ,protocol1
 the ,durban ,platform1 the ,copenhagen 

,accord1 and the ,cancun ,agreements1   
all of which have failed to meaningfully
 slow global carbon emissions2 ,whereas 
the ,paris ,agreement fails to consider 
adequately economies that would be      
negatively impacted by measures to      
respond to climate change1 including    
those found within the ,united ,states1 
as addressed in ,article #d1 ,paragraph 
#aj of the ,convention2 ,whereas the    
,paris ,agreement has not been submitted
 to the ,united ,states ,senate for     
review and ratification2 ,whereas the   
,paris ,agreement could result in       
serious harm to the ,united ,states     
economy1 including significant job loss1
 increased energy and consumer costs1   
risks to grid reliability1 or any       
combination thereof2 ,whereas1 by using 
the free market1 the ,united ,states has
 significantly reduced carbon dioxide   
emissions to the lowest they have been  
in #ae years1 and the ,united ,states   
energy-related carbon dioxide emissions 
are projected to remain below #bjje     

levels through #bjdj1 while such        
emissions in the developing world are   
projected to grow to #abj percent above 
#bjje levels by #bjdj2 ,whereas the     
,people's ,republic of ,china is the    
world's largest emitter of carbon       
dioxide and1 in accordance with the     
#bjad agreement with the ,united ,states
 entered into during the ,barack ,obama 
,presidency1 intends to increase its    
coal consumption until #bjcj2 ,whereas  
the ,republic of ,india announced that1 
notwithstanding the ,paris ,agreement1  
it will continue its reliance on coal   
and plans to double the nation's coal   
output within the next #e years2        
,whereas1 according to an ,october #bjae
 ,,mit ,technology ,review report1      
increased coal consumption in the       
,republic of ,india will negate any     
global efforts to limit carbon dioxide1 
regardless of anything that the ,united 
,states does to decrease its emissions2 
and ,whereas the emissions reduction    
goals of the ,paris ,agreement cannot be

 met without the global development and 
deployment of new technologies that are 
not currently in commercial existence or
 economically viable3 ,now1 therefore1  
be it  ,that it is the sense of         
,congress that the ,united ,states      
should withdraw from the ,paris         
,agreement1 adopted in ,december #bjae4
