Boehner spokesman: "The Select Committee on Global Warming is unnecessary and taxpayers will not have to fund it in the 112th Congress"
Members of the House of Representatives will not be pondering global warming on Speaker John A. Boehner’s watch.
Republicans plan to eliminate the House Select Committee on Energy Independence and Global Warming, which was created by the current speaker, Nancy Pelosi, in 2007 to examine climate change and press for possible caps on carbon dioxide emissions.
Climate change matters are overseen by the House Energy and Commerce Committee, as well as the Natural Resources Committee; the select committee did not pass legislation but did hold hearings, which will cease in the new Congress.

Irony never sleeps.
I agree, but what do Lindsey and Newt say?
what do you expect from pmsnbc? they are too focused on giggling when they “lean” forward.
Hot Damn!
Agree! But it remains to be see just how they follow through on what they SAY they will do. We need to stay watching!
To quote Hannibal, “But not anymore.”
Hot doggies!! Heck uv a start. Let’s ROLL!!
It’s a good start, but the GISS and NOAA global warming divisions should be first on the chopping block when they officially take over
Now, if we can just get rid of the EPA we will be in business.
GOOD JOB! Now can I have my incandescent bulbs back?!?!?!?!?!
They’re getting warmer...warmer...
Now how about some departments, like those they promised in the 1994 revolution.
The Department of Commerce, the Department of Education and a more recent useless monster bureaucracy, Homeland Security
This one was rushed into creation after 9/11 to force the CIA and the FBI to corporate and share vital intelligent information [like that on the 9/11 terrorists that they didn't] instead of jealously guarding it from each other while Ameicans die.
This they to give them leg up on each other will competing for annual Congressional funding of taxpayer dollars.
Of course after creation of this white elephant, because of much wailing and gnashing of teeth they where left out from under the jurisdiction of HS which we still got anyway.
Also let's not forget FEMA whose specialty is hiring Blackwater to disarm old women home owning Hurricane victims who have been abandoned by their police force and left at the mercy of looters.
And like I have said before, as a retired teacher of 43 years, I will love the day when the Department of Education and the NEA Union are gone forever!
Boehner is playing a strong hand well. Reagan said “Trust but verify”, but for these RINOs I would shorten that to “..verify”. Boehner has sold us out to the bankers once and under pressure he will do it again someday. They already admitted they wont do anything unpopular like get rid of the Obama-care exclusion mandates.
In the mean time I celebrate Boehner crushing Democrats politically and passing stuff the liberals hate, and watching them turn on Obama for signing it. I called Boehner's office before the election and advised him to hold hearings on the Economic Recovery Act Stimulus waste and Obama-care bribes. But that was already on their list.
Just outstanding....now how about the EPA funding...and what is that outfit that Jim Hansen works for?
Time to prepare for some clebrations.
Time to prepare for some celebrations.
Defund the EPA while they are at it!
