From Politico
Leading House climate skeptic Jim Sensenbrenner appears to have landed a perch to lead investigations into global warming science.
The Wisconsin Republican is set to become the vice chairman of the House Science Committee under incoming Chairman Ralph Hall (R-Texas), Hall told POLITICO Thursday.
“With his background, his insistence, he can do the mean things that we don’t want to do,” Hall said. “I’m a peaceful guy; he likes combat.”
Sensenbrenner, who has served as the top Republican on the Select Committee on Energy Independence and Global Warming since 2007, tried to keep the panel alive to investigate the Obama administration’s global warming policies, but was shot down by GOP leadership.
Sensenbrenner agreed to take the No. 2 spot on the Science Committee in exchange for Hall’s backing in two years when his term limit runs out, according to a Republican select committee spokesman.

Big time bttt :)
Global warming advocates should celebrate ... there will likely be far less hot air coming out of that committee.

Sounds like Hall should relinquish the chair to Sensenbrenner.
This I like...start with the EPA.
Yes! Go get ‘em!
I want them to embarrass these crooks, Michael Mann and cohorts need to be called in front of the investigative committee as well.
We need the money!
And defund the EPA.
Hall said WHAT? Dump Hall and put Jim Sensenbrenner in charge. He’s a go get-er that will get er done. ENOUGH of this GOP nice guy. These Dems/Progressives/Communists imbedded in our government are in full speed ahead mode to ruin this country. They want to go back to the horse and buggy days. Well ask your grandmother what the streets were full of. The same thing the EPA is full of.
Jim Sensenbrenner is my rep and he’s a darn good man. He needs to push to defund the EPA and demand a reversal on all of their “end runs around congress” horrendously damaging EPA rules that have been put in place. Get out of the way of business, stop the land grab, open up drilling and watch the economy roar ahead.
Generally I like Jim Sensenbrenner. He’s my Congressman, but keep him away from anything to do with ANWR, please. He personally kept the Congress from voting on opening ANWR back in 2004 when the legislation had already been passed by the Senate and Bush would have signed the Bill.
I doubt that Sensenbrenner will push to open up drilling. He’s blocked it before (especially ANWR). His attitude is (and I quote from a personal conversation), “We should use up all of their oil first!” (Saudi Arabia, Brazil, etc.)
He was against opening ANWR because (again, his words) “There is no way drilling in ANWR would benefit Wisconsin. The oil would go to Japan or California.”
I wish that he’d change his mind, but I’ve seen no evidence of it.
What's Jim doing now? Still jiggling the hockey stick? Maybe he's working on arseinical microbes now.
It is pathetic when exposing fraud of monumetal proportions and can saddle our country with decades of economically crippling debt, can be called “MEAN” by a Republican from Texas. FOR CRYIN OUT LOUD!!!
Funny you should mention that.

Hall’s statement makes me wonder why he ever got into politics. Likes the perks, I guess.
