Press Releases Contact: Brendan Daly 202-226-7616 For Immediate Release 03/21/2007 Pelosi Statement on Gore Testimony on Global Warming
Washington, D.C. Speaker Nancy Pelosi released the following statement today on former Vice President Al Gores testimony on global warming at a Energy and Commerce Committee hearing today:
As a global leader on combating climate change, Al Gore has been both an educator and an agitator spurring so many to take real action. Today, he presented Congress with challenging and creative ideas, and made a compelling case for the urgency to act.
In the House, we have begun the hard work of addressing the challenge of global warming. The newly created Select Committee on Energy Independence and Global Warming will raise the visibility of these urgent issues and gather critical information to protect Americas security. Other committees of jurisdiction are working to report legislation by June.
The time to take that action is now. We hold our childrens future in our hands not our grandchildren, or great-grandchildren, but our own children. As the most adaptable creatures on the planet, it is time for us to adapt.
The dumb one belongs on the short bus.
Katie Couric did an opinion piece after Gore won his oscar, lamenting that she was afraid that global warming would come to be perceived as a "liberal" cause. She was afraid that it wouldn't get more support if the liberals and entertainment elites support it.
Are any prominent Republicans or conservatives on board as supporting Al Gore, agreeing that this issue transcend politics or national borders or any other issue? Or is it just Dems. / liberals / elitists?
I believe Ahhnold is on board with the global warming garbage. However, he's not a real Republican or conservative, rather just the closest thing we could get in CA (and infinitely better than a true libdem such as Davis was)...
Is Pelosi really a blonde?
Really?
...but he didn't present any science?
Grey. The blonde hair is rented from the other blonde, Plane.
Al Gore is being considered for the Nobel Peace Prize? Has anyone else heard that? Could it be true?
"Is Pelosi really a blonde?"
I'll say this for the old girl...she's got a rack.
"when the going gets weird, the weird turn pro."

Yeah, banning incondescent light bulbs is a real creative idea Al. I mean can the socialist get a bigger wiennie to represent their pet cause?
One who is not is: Rush Limbaugh...JK
But then, so is Gore.
Grab your wallet - they're coming!
How about stuck on stupid?
In the House, we have begun the hard work of addressing the challenge of global warming

Another press release about hard work by Nan. Look at her press releases. Almost all mention some sort of "hard work". I am always suspect of people who have to remind me how hard they work.
