The House Energy and Commerce Committee Tuesday voted down an amendment that would have stated conclusively that climate change is occurring.E&C Committee members voted 24-20 against the amendment, introduced by Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-IL) to H.R. 3826, the Electricity Security and Affordability Act. That bill, if it makes it through Congress, would put an end to EPA regulations on emissions for new power plants until technologies like carbon capture and storage are commercially viable in at least six states for one year.It passed in Tuesday’s committee, but the amendment, which would have placed on the record that the committee accepts that climate change is happening and is caused by greenhouse gas pollution, did not.
this puts republicans if passed by the house that's a slam dunk they get to kill one of the thorns in their sides EPA do you realize when they are a majority anywhere they will set about doing things like this,
then their will be no one watching our backs the republicans they'll be too busy passing out bribe checks on the house floor not like they haven't done it before, and yet he's still in office along with those who received those bribes.
Twenty-four E&C members — all Republicans — voted against the amendment. Among them was E&C Chair Rep. Fred Upton (R-MI), who has said before that he doesn't think climate change is caused by human activity, and Joe Barton (R-TX), who also questions humans' role in climate change. In total, the Republicans who voted to deny climate change have accepted about $9.3 million in career contributions from the oil, gas and coal industries, according to analysis by the CAP Action War Room.This isn't the first time House Republicans have rejected amendments stating the reality of climate change. In 2011, House Republicans voted down amendments that called on Congress to accept that climate change is real, man-made, and a human health threat.Scientists, of course, disagree with the committee members. Ninety-seven percent of scientific studies that take a stance on climate change agree that human activity is causing climate change. In October, a study found that temperatures in the Canadian Arctic today are warmer than at any point in the last 44,000 years and possibly even as far back as 120,000 years.
they are in opposition to do one thing stop the threat to big business of regulations designed to keep us and earth safe from them the would be polluters, but they won't stop at EPA consumer reg high on the list so banks loan co.'s can go back to ripping you off all while the tell you how bad regulation is, is it as bad as dying from contaminated everything just so they can make more money at your family's expense. recognize
their voting to support a lie does not mean it's so or you have to accept it fight for evey breath you may need it.
