The House Republicans’ fiscal 2025 spending bill for the State Department released Monday continues to target international climate action.
It also includes several policy riders that would overturn climate-related executive actions from as far back as 2021 — an escalation from last year, when Republicans were content to add such language as amendments on the floor.
None of it will likely become law, given a Democratic-controlled Senate and White House. But the bill represents an unapologetically partisan starting point in bipartisan government spending negotiations in an election year.
The Military Construction-Veterans Affairs bill would similarly target climate spending and includes language against climate executive orders. The White House threatened to veto it.
