WASHINGTON — The House passed a bill on Thursday that would block President Trump from abandoning the Paris Agreement on climate change and require his administration to devise a plan to cut America’s greenhouse gas emissions. The measure, which passed 231- 190, was the first big global warming legislation to win congressional approval in almost 10 years. But with the vote, Democrats sought to tie Republicans to Mr. Trump, who has said that climate change is a hoax, and isolate them on an issue they believe is resonating strongly with voters. This is about science, science, science,” the House speaker, Nancy Pelosi, said before the vote.
