Breaking: House Defunds UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change

February 19th, 2011 11:05 AM

The House of Representatives on Saturday voted to defund the United Nations' controversial Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.

Climate Depot reported moments ago:

Another victory for science! House votes 244-179 to kill U.S. funding of UN IPCC! 'It no longer wishes to have the IPCC prepare its comprehensive international climate science assessments.'

Hip hip hooray!

Of course, as this was mostly along Party lines, it seems quite doubtful this would pass in the Senate and even more unlikely it would survive an almost certain presidential veto even if it did.
