Today, U.S. Sen. Jim Inhofe (R-Okla.) released the following statement after voting against the ratification of the Kigali Amendment to the United Nations’ Montreal Protocol which seeks to phasedown the use of hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs):
“The Kigali Amendment is an Obama-era, United Nations proposal that further advances the climate alarmist agenda that the Biden administration has proudly made their own—this is a bad deal for America,” Inhofe said. “While I applaud Senator Sullivan’s amendment that ensures China is not given a pass from adhering to the same commitment as the U.S., unfortunately, the Kigali Amendment yields American sovereignty on environmental regulation to the United Nations and will send consumer prices higher in the process. Not only has the Biden administration continued to push their liberal agenda on the rest of us, sending inflation rates skyrocketing, but now this amendment will make it more expensive for Oklahoma families and businesses to purchase and maintain household goods like refrigerators and air conditioners. I had to vote against ratifying it today.”
