Oops! Federal Law Prohibits Obama Funding UN Climate Bureaucracy

Thanks to a Clinton-era statute and an obscure vote last month by the United Nations, federal law now officially makes it illegal for the Obama administration to send a single penny of your money to the UN climate bureaucracy.
That is good news for U.S. taxpayers, of course. But it puts the UN and the Obama administration in an awkward position as they struggle desperately to convince other governments that the UN’s much-touted “global-warming” regime, officially signed Friday, is not going to crumble in the face of a hostile Congress and a U.S. Constitution that has been trampled at every turn. Now, dozens of U.S. senators, who Obama and the UN hoped to bypass in imposing the global “climate” treaty in defiance of the U.S. Constitution, are putting the UN and Obama on notice.
The latest twist surrounds a 1994 U.S. law passed by Congress and signed by then-President Bill Clinton. Among other elements, the law prohibits the distribution of U.S. taxpayer funds to “any affiliated organization of the United Nations which grants full membership as a state to any organization or group that does not have the internationally recognized attributes of statehood.” Last month, though, the UN climate bureaucracy, known as the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), decided to admit the U.S. taxpayer-funded “State of Palestine” as a member. That means no more American money may legally be disbursed to the UN’s climate bureaucracy, no matter what Obama may have lawlessly promised to foreign governments and dictatorships.
The senators were clear in explaining the law to Obama. “We request that you ensure that no disbursements of U.S. funds are made to the UNFCCC and its related entities after March 17, 2016,” a group of almost 40 U.S. Republican senators told Obama’s Secretary of State John Kerry in a letter this week. “We believe that your failure to do so will constitute a violation of current law…. We implore the administration to … abide by current law prohibiting U.S. taxpayer funds for the UNFCCC and its related entities and other UN affiliated organizations.”
Among the UN agencies affected will be the giant slush fund for dictators run by dictators’ representatives known as the Green Climate Fund, which Obama lawlessly gave $500 million to in defiance of Congress after illegitimately pledging billions during a trip to Australia. The GCF is crucial to the UN-Obama “climate” scheming, because Third World regimes only agreed to participate if they received trillions of Western taxpayer dollars in subsidies for kleptocracy in exchange — starting with least $100 billion per year. Also on the list of proscribed organizations is the Conference of the Parties (COP), which organizes the UN’s luxurious CO2-spewing “climate” summits two or more times per year.
