We would love to have such a hearing just to hear ex-Black Panther Rep. Bobby Rush (D-Ill.) talk about extreme weather.
Environment & Energy Daily reports,
Top Democrats on the House Energy and Commerce Committee continued to push yesterday for more hearings on climate change, arguing that lawmakers should examine a report that found greenhouse gas emissions have contributed to extreme weather events around the world.
Reps. Henry Waxman of California and Bobby Rush of Illinois, the top Democrats on the full committee and its Energy and Power subpanel, asked Chairman Fred Upton (R-Mich.) for a hearing on the issue.
“We believe Congress must examine the costs of continued inaction to address man-made climate change,” they wrote…
Here’s Bobby Rush talking about how he watched an ice berg melt:
Maybe Hank Johnson could make a special appearance as well.
Apparently, they want a Congressional hearing on why so many reports are wrong and the one they like is right. Trying to bully a consensus where even the warmistas still working in their respective scientific fields won’t go. Study shopping as a reason for hearings? Another installment of the Waxman Inquisition.
Just goes to show one of the negatives of a democracy, sometimes idiots and hustlers will be elected.
Yeah, Bobby Rush would be the first global warming expert I would consult even before Micahel Mann and James Hansen.
I would encourage all Congressmen to follow the Bobby Rush model in order to minimize the damage they can do to the economy. If we had more Congressmen watching icebergs melt, it would certainly keep them more usefully occupied. Maybe they could bring some demostrators with them from Zuccotti Park and “Occupy an Icerberg”.
They should bring Hollywood as well.
