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 Earth will do just fine,
At least until the sun goes nova
The Earth has been through many of these cycles
It is pure narcissism that these people believe they can Save the Earth
Nancy should know the New Green Deal includes horse and wagon for Congress’s Transport
It most certainly is.
Anyone doubts that at best we will have two years of stalemated government here’s evidence A1!
And if they have the votes to set up this nonsense they have the votes for a bill of impeachment against Trump. Again doesn’t mean removal! Slick was impeached but not removed!
This same twisted logic of saving the earth to them means they own it and can rule over it you know, because of their obvious good intentions.
The idea that WE are causing hurricanes, tsunamis, volcanoes, desert areas etc etc.....is ridiculous.
So I guess that killing babies is part of the solution....since they pass a lotta gas.
When liberals resort to using Biblical references, you just know they’re painted up into a corner. They know they’re leftists are mostly Atheists, so they’re down to trying to convince and influence Christians and Conservatives.
Won’t work.
These RATS are going to be so much more dangerous than ever before.
I wonder how Pelosi got to Hawaii without carbon emissions...
Kayak?
I drive libs nuts by reminding them that man and all man’s works are natural to this planet and use only things of this planet.
How can we “harm” the planet, we are as natural to it as any other animal and use only things that are already here naturally?
...and much more so than many imagine.
Remember all those weapons and all the ammo that various federal agencies stockpiled during Zer0's reign?
It hasn't evaporated.
When pecker puss Pelosi references God, she’s talking about the pagan god Gaia.
She’s a black hearted black widow.
Except those parasites in the uterus,,,,,
Shes street rat crazy. Thats what comes to my mind first after every one of her utterances.
Nancy Pelosi’s top 10 list of “Threats to ‘the Whole of Gods Creation’”

7) The Border Wall
6) Honest Elections
5) Federal Indictments Of Democrats
4) Bernie Sanders
3) Capitalism Except For Her And Her Cronies
2) Man Made Global Warming

But killing God’s unborn babies is not a problem for this hypocrit.
Latest leftist narrative reports nancy rowed to Hawaii in a 16' wooden skiff.
Another example of the Democrap’s obsession with themselves and their desire for absolute power over us......
These people need immediate professional care.
