In January, the Republican Party will take control of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, giving the new majority considerable influence over federal energy policy and climate change regulation and legislation. By virtue of seniority, Fred Upton of Michigan is considered the likeliest candidate to head the committee.
But dark horse candidates are also vying for the chairman’s gavel, among them John Shimkus of Illinois, vice chairman of the Republican Party’s Congressional campaign committee.

“The focus is not going to be climate,” he said. “The climate debate has, at least for two years, has ended with this election.” BWAHAHAHA, can't wait to see liberal heads explode!

Is he a skeptic of the climate, or is he a skeptic of climate change conspiracies and the kooks who promote them? There is winter, summer, cold weather and warm weather, this trend and that trend, and then there are lunatics, crooks and sleazebags like Gore who would destroy Western civilization and billions of lives to be popular and make a buck. If Fred Upton is a skeptic of the latter, swear him in.

That needs to be a line in the next EPA funding bill.
“CO2 is not a pollutant shall not be a part of the purview of the EPA henceforth.”

"Excellent!"
Dittos E. Great news. I do hope whoever does end up chairing the committee they shall be in close touch with Senator Inholf who as those that have been following this stuff understand, a good source of what has been taking place over the past six years or so with the scam.
