Republicans don't care about the climate crisis

The House Select Committee on the Climate Crisis, which is expected to be dissolved by a Republican House majority next year, said in a report Wednesday that nearly half of its policy recommendations have become law.

In the committee’s final report, members said that of 715 policy recommendations made in 2020, more than 300 now have force of law.

The new GOP majority in the chamber is expected to dismantle the panel in January. The office of Rep. Garret Graves (La.), the top Republican on the panel, told The Hill in November, “We don’t see a scenario where the ‘Climate Crisis Committee,’ a creature of Pelosi, will continue to exist.”

The Republican “Commitment to America” plan released ahead of the midterm election called for increased fossil fuel production and hydropower.

  The Hill
Increased fossil fuel. JFC. Making America Great Again.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
