Pelosi Taps Florida Democrat to Lead Climate Change Panel

House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi has appointed Florida Rep. Kathy Castor to lead a special committee on climate change that will be reinstated in the new Congress.

Pelosi, the likely House speaker, said Castor brings experience, energy and "urgency to the existential threat of the climate crisis" facing the United States and the world. Castor is set to begin her seventh term representing the Tampa Bay area and serves on the House Energy and Commerce Committee.

"Congresswoman Castor is a proven champion for public health and green infrastructure, who deeply understands the scope and seriousness of this threat. Her decades of experience in this fight, both in Florida and in the Congress . will be vital," Pelosi said.

Castor said in a statement that she was honored to lead the panel and pledged to "act with urgency to reduce carbon pollution" and "unleash" American ingenuity to create clean-energy jobs.

There is no man made climate change. Just want to tax us more. Create a crisis that doesn't exist and convince the public the only way to solve it is with our $

If it was a term coined by Trump and not Gore people might actually be concerned.
Let them dig coal. I will be long dead before my grand kids are suffering and they will likely be too stupid and greedy to see the light.

Its all lies that's why Nancy and Al fly on the biggest jets have multiple homes and take money from big oil. It's a CON.

Stand by for more climate baloney that obscures the truths and the paths to keep the planet alive. Here's where politics comes back, which means a big feeding trough for Liberal-supporting businesses that don't actually benefit the environment, but get stuff passed in Congress to make it look like they do.
