Mario Diaz-Balart: Biden’s Plan to Fund UN Climate Change Program is a Waste of Money

From his perch as the chairman of the Subcommittee on the Department of State, Foreign Operations, and Related Programs of the U.S. House Committee on Appropriations, U.S. Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart, R-Fla, ,took aim at the Biden administration’s announcement of a multi-year plan on a climate change program of the United Nations:

“I am appalled that the Biden administration will pledge billions more of taxpayer dollars, money that Congress has not even provided, to yet another bloated, mismanaged, and ineffective slush fund that will do nothing to change the temperature of the planet,” the South Florida congressman said.

“Given our national debt of more than $33.8 trillion, in addition to the numerous pressing and grave foreign policy challenges that we are facing, there simply is no justification for spending billions more on a failing, inflated, and economically harmful climate change agenda led by clueless bureaucrats at the United Nations,” Diaz-Balart added.
