GOP Kills the House Climate Change Committee
Given the ideologically polarized state of US politics, it should come as no surprise that in the wake of the party's major victory in the midterm elections, the GOP is closing down the committee designed to address climate change. It's not surprising, no -- remember, 50% of the new Congress doesn't believe climate change is real. But it's still distressing. The symbolic implications of the move are hard to ignore: Our federal government is no longer going to concern itself with climate change.
A hardy thanks to all who voted for the "deniers." Their wallets will be fat with oil money, but the air they breath...well we all know the crap we are in for.
