National Journal ^ | August 21, 2013 | By Amy Harder

After virtually ignoring the nation's biggest environmental issue for years, Republican leaders of the House Energy and Commerce Committee are planning a major hearing on climate change on Sept. 18 and are inviting leaders of 13 federal agencies to testify.

In the letters, Whitfield asks nine questions about how each agency devotes its time, money, and resources to climate-change policies and requests each official to include answers in his or her written testimony at the hearing.

I hope not but you are almost certainly correct. 13 agencies. It will be 13 to zip for the triumph of Junk Science. This is not likely to turn out well.

They are desperately looking for excuses to jump on the AGW bandwagon.

Sounds like a plan right out of the White Hut to get Benghazi, IRS and NSA pushed to the back burners.
As far as 'Fast and Furious', that's not even on the stove anymore.

Idiot, treasonous, complicit GOP!

Probably not until after we keep the seas from rising, vanquish hurricanes, make the flood waters recede, and whatever all else the Marxists have been gibbering about. The Vichy Republicans are in no hurry to annoy VIPs at the IRS with unwelcome questions.

OK!! Everybody pay attention!

Lesson for today:

1. The sun is 1,300,000 times as big as the earth.

2. The sun is a ball of fire that controls our climates.

3. The earth is a rock.

4. The earth is a speck in comparison to the size of the sun.

5. Inhabitants of the earth are less than specks.

Study Question: How do less-than-specks in congress plan to control the sun?
