What’s Next for the Congressional Global Warming Committee?
The House Select Committee on Energy Independence and Global Warming was created in 2007 by Democrats who hoped it could stand up to challenges to climate change solutions. Now, with Republicans regaining control of the House, the committee is likely to fold. We’ll hear two opinions – one from David Kreutzer of the conservative Heritage Foundation, the other from longtime environmentalist John Passacantando – on the legacy of the committee.
