Saw this yesterday and didn't see it posted here?

Tyrants and dictators, shady international arms dealers, brutal leaders of broken, basket case nations like President for Life Robert Mugabe, will be celebrating today; President Obama just transferred $500 million of US Taxpayer’s money into the new UN Climate Fund.

According to The Guardian;

Obama administration pays out $500m to climate change project

The first chunk of a $3bn commitment made at the Paris climate talks ‘shows the US stands squarely behind climate commitments’, the State Department said

The Obama administration has made a first installment on its $3bn pledge to help poor countries fight climate change – defying Republican opposition to the president’s environmental plan.

Do you think that the following may go hand in hand?

AG Lynch: DOJ Has Discussed Whether to Pursue Legal Action Against Climate Change Deniers

(CNSNews.com) – Attorney General Loretta Lynch acknowledged Wednesday that there have been discussions within the Department of Justice about possibly pursuing civil action against so-called climate change deniers.

“This matter has been discussed. We have received information about it and have referred it to the FBI to consider whether or not it meets the criteria for which we could take action on,” Lynch said at a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on Justice Department operations.

"Did you notify Congress that you were spending this money on a Green Fund?"
No .. We decided that it wasn't necessary!

To summarize:

Asked by Senator Cory Gardner if Congress approved the US State Department to divert $500 million to the United Nation’s Green Climate Fund, Deputy Secretary Heather Higgenbottom says: “Did Congress authorize the Green Climate Fund? No. […] We’ve reviewed the authority and the process under which we can do it, and our lawyers and we have determined that we have the ability to do it..

Translation: "We don't need no steenkin' "Congress." "Sue us"

 Who controls the money? The House. Who controls the House? Republicans. (Who controls all of Congress? Republicans.)

So it should read, Republicans just gave $500 million of Your Money to the UN Green Fund
