House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., is headed to China over the week-long Memorial Day recess to talk to government officials there about energy and environmental issues.
Pelosi is leading a delegation of Republicans and Democrats who sit on a congressional global warming panel, she said.
The trip comes at a critical time for China, which is for the first time weighing weather to limit carbon emissions in the country. This week China also laid down a tough opening position for the upcoming climate summit to take place in Copenhagen, Denmark this fall. The Chinese are asking for big U.S. Concessions on emissions to sign on to a successor to the failed Kyoto Protocols.
The purpose of the trip, Pelosi said, is to "see what the possibilities are for common ground, learn from each other, as we go forward," on reducing emissions.
Just watch - she'll come back believing everything the Chinese tell her while at the same time insisting the CIA lied to her.
