Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) plans to make combatting climate change a “whole of Senate approach” for however long Democrats retain the majority.
Schumer, who leads a chamber split 50-50 between Democrats and Republicans, announced on Tuesday that he had instructed his party’s committee chairs to make the issue a top priority. The majority leader, in particular, argued that by mobilizing every “relevant” committee to tackle climate change, the Senate would take “a leading role in combatting the existential threat of our time.”
“Senate Democrats are not going to waste any time taking on the biggest challenges facing our country and our planet,” Schumer said from the floor of the Senate.
“I’ve already instructed the incoming Democratic chairs of all relevant committees to begin holding hearings on the climate crisis in preparation for enacting President [Joe] Biden’s Build Back Better agenda, which includes major climate legislation,” the senate leader added.
During his remarks, Schumer suggested that under his leadership Senate Democrats would undertake ambitious and sweeping actions to protect the environment.
“As we all know climate change touches virtually every aspect of our economy and involves virtually every aspect of public policy,” Schumer said, adding that “the Democratic majority will pursue a whole of Senate approach” on the topic.

In a similar vein: “There’s a hole with no bottom!”
It’s time to cripple Americna business with taxes and regulation and this time I plan to stand aside and watch them squirm. there is no conservative/Republican resistance and besides big business isn’t our friends.
Maybe not the *whole* Senate,Chuck U...the Rat Senator from Montana has let it be known that he thinks that cancelling Keystone was a mistake.
More taxes for no verifiable gain.
“As we all know climate change touches virtually every aspect of our economy and involves virtually every aspect of public policy,”
That’s the whole game in one sentence.
“the Rat Senator from Montana has let it be known that he thinks that cancelling Keystone was a mistake”
Because he wants to be able to walk through downtown Billings without being accosted.
Nope. The biggest existential threat is whenever our Sun dies out. And it is out of our hands. So are “combatting” the other Solar Cycle activities.
Corrupt Chuck is a fearmonger.
Chukie, Is it not cold enough for you?
Chuck Schumer (D-NY)
Definite proof that many towns and cities got rid of their idiots by sending them to government.
Have none of these brain trusts figured out why Edgar Rich Burroughs wrote “Tarzan of the ‘Jungle’” and NOT “Tarzan of the Tundra”? It may be a bit less comfortable, but it appears that people survive the heat a little better than sub zero. Fookin’ idjits.
Whole of government approach, whole of senate approach UGH. Can’t they talk normally.
Battling climate change is a war you’re going to lose, Chucky! It’s not possible, no matter how much you tax the citizens.
” It’s not possible, no matter how much you tax the citizens.”
It’s not about winning, it’s about more tax money.
They will win. $$cience is on their side.
Amazing how the Trump accomplishments are forgotten and buried.
Combating Climate Change Will Be a ‘Whole of Senate Approach.
Turn down that thermostat all the hot air is making the chamber to hot.
Schmuckie's shooting for a sound bite like "It takes a village" to reach the younger idiots who'd vote for him. Having despised this worm for 20 years I see a turd does indeed rise to the top filled with enough air.
