Bye-Bye Globaloney Panel

One of Nancy Pelosi's pet projects will die with her Speakership:

Republicans will eliminate the House committee created by Speaker Nancy Pelosi to highlight the threat of climate change, Representative James Sensenbrenner, the top Republican on the panel, said today.

In one of her first acts as speaker in 2007, Pelosi, a California Democrat, created the House Select Committee on Energy Independence and Global Warming to draw attention to climate-change science and showcase how a cap on carbon dioxide needn’t be a threat to economic growth.

Republicans, who won control of the House in the Nov. 2 election, have opposed legislative efforts to regulate carbon emissions as a tax on energy. When the panel convened today, Sensenbrenner, a Wisconsin Republican, said that the hearing “will be the last of the select committee.”

The Science committee will take over the effort to stop cap-and-tax and the other globaloney nonsense promoted by Obama. The committees can end up costing millions of dollars to operate, so I hope this isn't the last one to go.
