Trump's Climate War Breaks the Law - UNFCCC - the treaty that underpins global climate cooperation - FIVE MINUTE NEWS

[Rhiannon12866]

Donald Trump has escalated his war on climate policy to a new and legally dangerous level. His administration has announced plans to withdraw the United States from the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) — the treaty that underpins global climate cooperation.

This isn’t just a diplomatic stunt. Legal scholars warn that abandoning the UNFCCC may exceed presidential authority, raising serious constitutional questions about whether a president can unilaterally exit a foundational international treaty without Congress. At the same time, the administration is dismantling domestic environmental protections that experts say are critical for public safety in an era of accelerating climate disasters. - 01/14/2026.

1. So ... do something, Congress ! Trmp is telling GOP in Congress that they don't matter except to obey his orders.

They need to let him know that most of them will still be here after he is gone -- particularly in the Senate -- and that he is not their Lord and Master. His 'Base' may like compliant Congresscritters but Independent voters tend to feel differently, and they can swing just about any primary IF they try.
