Hmmmm. Act on climate. That to me would mean dismantling the major portions of the epa and restricting them to actual science and not *con-science.

*Consensus science.

Too bad they don't favor injecting some FACTS into the "debate".

Well, junk science is now officially settled. No wonder we have had no energy policy going all the way back to Pres. Reagan. The DOE is terminal.

So its “bipartisan” and “injecting reason” when a bunch of liberal Republicans say that we need to jack up taxes, halt growth and spend a fortune on “climate change”, but when, as the article notes, a bunch of Democrat coal miners flood the chamber to protest the loss of their jobs, its not “bipartisan.”

I wonder what the quid pro quo was for getting these morons to trot out and do this?

In Texas the EPA flexed its muscle and lowered the highway speeds in Houston even though they subsequently acknowledged that it would not impact Houston’s pollution level.

And they don’t even HAVE that power, that belongs to the LEGISLATURE.

If ever there were an affirmative action post, it is the EPA head. We need to shut it down completely.

Change the climate of the entire world on our own? No problem!

Build a fence and secure our borders? Impossible!

It is well past time for the people to begin public tribunals that prosecute the heretics who continue the drive for the US to reduce consumption of fossil fuels, especially coal.
These traitors need real penalties to force them to shut up or produce real evidence. Enough with the Alinsky tactics
already from these frauds!
There needs to be a forum that will hear the case of man made geo-engineering and weather manipulation as well!
