  Yes it is. Many of the complaints about the Paris Agreement were explicitly included in the treaty that congress ratified. For example, article 4(7): "The extent to which developing country Parties will effectively implement their commitments under the Convention will depend on the effective implementation by developed country Parties of their commitments under the Convention related to financial resources and transfer of technology and will take fully into account that economic and social development and poverty eradication are the first and overriding priorities of the developing country Parties." Congress has already agreed that developed countries will initially take more of the burden, and might participate in something like the Green Climate Fund.
