WASHINGTON -- House Democrats are preparing to take control of the lower chamber next week by forming a new Select Committee on the Climate Crisis -- but some members of the caucus aren't happy.
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), the caucus' choice for the next speaker of the House, today announced the appointment of Rep. Kathy Castor (D-Fla.), a member of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, to lead the select panel.
"She will bring great experience, energy and urgency to the existential threat of the climate crisis," Pelosi said in a statement. "This committee will be critical to the entire Congresss mission to respond to the urgency of this threat, while creating the good-paying, green jobs of the future."
She called Castor, who has served in Congress since 2007, "a proven champion for public health and green infrastructure, who deeply understands the scope and seriousness of this threat."
Pelosi added that "the American people have demanded action to combat the climate crisis, which threatens our public health, our economy, our national security and the whole of Gods creation."
"Together, we must protect public health by reducing air pollution, create jobs by making America preeminent in green technologies, defend our national security by preventing climate-driven instability and uphold our sacred moral responsibility to leave a healthy, sustainable future for generations to come," she said.
Some progressives in the Democratic caucus, including Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), are pushing for a "green New Deal," which would mandate a full national transition to renewable energy within 10 years of passage. Ocasio-Cortez proposed creating a select committee to chart the path forward for that proposal, but her spokesman said today that Pelosi's panel "sounds about as useful as a screen door on a submarine"

...”the American people have demanded action to combat the climate crisis, which threatens our public health, our economy, our national security and the whole of Gods creation.”
She isn’t fit to use our Creator’s name, in any way, shape or form.
The idea that humans can change climate is Anti God.
That witch better hope she dies before we all freeze to death.
I cringe when Democrats bring up God.
Pelosi can smell the new taxes she can collect to spend on freebies for the new underclass. The “Party of the Jackass”; you’ve got to love them. By the way, where is the GOPee hiding?
Is this the same PELOUSY that is spending the shutdown in Hawaii???
FIGURES!
It’s obvious that they are using references to faith as a tool to fake ou stupid Christians. God help these people cause they will pay dearly in the end.
Committee to graft more $ from us via the government to them, to built bigger castles...with walls to keep their illegals away from them.
Pelosi said "God's creation?" When did she start evangelizing?
Is she preparing for the ministry....or maybe she wants the Congress' Chaplain's job?
Pelosi has not the mental ability to comprehend the “whole of a ham sandwhich”.
Which, of course, is why she’s a leading Democrat, since she pretty much tops their IQ list.
She thinks she’s saving ‘the whole of God’s creation’? Man does not even know the totality of ‘the whole of God’s creation’. Pelosi is as crazy as a $#!+ house bat! Is there no one in the Pelosi family who is in charge of this insane woman?
Im from the government. Im here to save Creation.
“The American people have demanded action to combat the climate crisis, which threatens our public health, our economy, our national security and the whole of Gods creation.”
Whatever happened to the democraps, including their branches in academia and the media, ... the separation of church and state? Since she is talking about God’s creation, perhaps she would like to discuss abortion and mercy killing as well. The answer is that the ends justify the democraps means - using religion for political purposes - pay no attention to the democrap behind the curtain.
I cringe too.
While Illegals with every disease know and unknown to Man storms the border
Pelosi’s Peons
Nancy Pelosi announced today from the comfort of her exotic Hawaiian vacation resort that she ...
The “Whole of G-d’s” Creation would be the entire Universe. How can we, as small as we are,effect distant galaxies?
“Climate crisis” ... {snort} The only “crisis” related to the climate is that no-one is really buying into their BS anymore. The crisis is the collapse of their scam.
