House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi’s plan for a new “Climate Cris” panel didn’t go over well with all of her political allies, particularly staffers for newly elected Ne w York Democrat Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
The California Democrat, who is poised regain her House Speaker role in the near year, championed a new “Select Committee on the Climate Crisis” on Friday, but her younger and more progressive counterparts were not impressed.
“This committee, if it turns out that the rumors about it are true, sounds about as useful as a screen door on a submarine,” said Corbin Trent, a spokesman for Rep.-elect Ocasio-Cortez, The Hill reported Friday. “As it’s portrayed it’s going to be completely incapable of solving the greatest threat to humankind.”
Mrs. Pelosi’s office announced that Rep. Kathy Castor of Florida would chair the committee and bring “urgency to the existential threat of the climate crisis.”
“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 God’s creation,” the Democrat’s statement reads.
Mr. Trent said senior lawmakers are failing to respond to the concerns of Green New Deal backers.

THe youngins better take heed, even though grandma Pelosi is a very OLD, senile biddy nut from CA - she only needs to sharpen one talon to slice through a newbie!
Boy that would be a sight to see too!!!!
Remember Van Jones? Obama appointed him to head the Green Energy panel which cost taxpayers over $1.5 billion that was invested in failed 'Green' energy companies making solar panels that were twice the cost of the Chinese panels.
After the companies declared bankruptcy, Van Jones put his tail between his legs and headed to CNN and MSNBC.
Ocasio just voted for pelosi she is in a world of Shit.
Our country is a lot cleaner than others in the world. Why don't they push their green energy agenda in China, Russia and India and see where it goes?
