Far Right already blowing smoke about Climate Alliance

There's no temper tantrum like an alt-right temper tantrum.

After 3 states formed a federation called the United States Climate Alliance to jointly combat climate change by refusing to withdraw from the Paris Agreement, the right-wing intelligentsia vows retribution against the alliance.

They claim that the federal government preempts these states' actions. No. It does not. It's kind of interesting that the Far Right claims to champion states' rights, but then they say states' rights doesn't protect more liberal states. What about the time Wisconsin pulled out of federal welfare programs? They defended that in the name of states' rights, even though it harmed the public, and there was no legal basis for the state to regulate a federal program like this.

The Far Right also claims the Climate Alliance is an unconstitutional compact between states. Wrong again! The government consented to this federation when it first approved the Paris Agreement. We're on solid legal ground here because it was illegal for Trump to pull out of the accord. So bust goes that bubble.

All this at a time when a majority of the public in every single one of the 50 states supports remaining in the Paris Agreement.
