Pelosi Announces Plans for a ‘Climate Crisis’ Committee, Flies Thousands of Miles in Private Jet
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi announced Friday that Democrats would create a Select Committee on the Climate Crisis next year, which will be headed by Florida Rep. Kathy Castor.
However, Pelosi’s announcement isn’t placating the progressive wing of her party, including New York Rep.-elect Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, supporting “Green New Deal” legislation.
“This committee, if it turns out that the rumors about it are true, sounds about as useful as a screen door on a submarine,” Ocasio-Cortez spokesman Corbin Trent, told The Hill.

“As it’s portrayed it’s going to be completely incapable of solving the greatest threat to human kind,” Trent said.
Pelosi, who’s expected to be elected House speaker in 2019, said there’s “tremendous pressure” for Democrats to make fighting global warming a central part of their agenda in the new year.
