I can smell it. I can feel the vibrations emanating from it. \u00a0There is a certain&#8230; je ne sais quoi in all of this, as if &#8211; well, Thor is awakening. It&#8217;s not exactly wanting to buy the World a Coke and keep it company, you see.<\/p>\n<p>From the WUWT article in which there are so many embedded links it is simpler to provide a link to the WUWT \u00a0spot:<\/p>\n<p>House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi announced Friday that Democrats would create a Select Committee on the Climate Crisis in 2019, which will be headed by Florida Democratic Rep. Kathy Castor.<\/p>\n<p>However, Pelosi\u2019s\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.democraticleader.gov\/newsroom\/122818\/\">announcement<\/a>\u00a0isn\u2019t placating progressives in her party, such as New York Rep.-elect Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who support \u201cGreen New Deal\u201d legislation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis committee, if it turns out that the rumors about it are true, sound about as useful as a screen door on a submarine,\u201d Ocasio-Cortez spokesman Corbin Trent,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/thehill.com\/policy\/energy-environment\/423146-ocasio-cortez-progressives-express-disappointment-with-climate\">told<\/a>\u00a0The Hill. (She has a spokesman???)<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs it\u2019s portrayed it\u2019s going to be completely incapable of solving the greatest threat to human kind,\u201d Trent said.<\/p>\n<p>Pelosi, who\u2019s expected to be elected House speaker in 2019, said <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2018\/11\/15\/nancy-pelosi-global-warming-top-issue\/\">there\u2019s \u201ctremendous pressure\u201d for Democrats<\/a>\u00a0to make fighting global warming a central part of their agenda in the new year.<\/p>\n<p>Pelosi made her announcement amid a government shutdown after she flew thousands of miles to a luxurious Hawaiian hotel where she was spotted Thursday, according to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/politics\/nancy-pelosi-is-spending-shutdown-at-hawaii-resort\/\">reports<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The creation of the House Select Committee on the Climate Crisis is one way Pelosi plans on satisfying progressives without angering incoming committee chairs, like New Jersey Democratic Rep. Frank Pallone, who want to advance their own climate bills.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is with great enthusiasm that I appoint Congresswoman Kathy Castor as the Chair of our new Select Committee on the Climate Crisis,\u201d Pelosi said in a statement issued Friday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe will bring great experience, energy and urgency to the existential threat of the climate crisis,\u201d Pelosi said. \u201cThis committee will be critical to the entire Congress\u2019s mission to respond to the urgency of this threat, while creating the good-paying, green jobs of the future.\u201d &#8211; WUWT Article<\/p>\n<p>Now, before you go all &#8220;toldja so&#8221; on this news, let us reflect solemnly on the potential this has for unifying the Old Guard Democrats &#8211; those in middle age or higher &#8211; with the Young Far Leftreds and bringing them together. \u00a0The possibilities for conjugality and united efforts toward this goal are bountiful and endless. There is, indeed, a New Hope on the horizon&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>So, before you get all jiggy about potentialities for this newly rising relationship, try to look at it the way I do.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"500\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/biTol0I06lA\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>And have a Very Happy and Joyous New Year!!!!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nancy Pelosi Announces Plans For A House &lsquo;Climate Crisis&rsquo; Committee After Flying Thousands Of Miles To &hellip; <a title=\"All We Are Is Leaves in the Wind&#8230;.\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=83845\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">All We Are Is Leaves in the Wind&#8230;.<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":653,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[220,213,26,92],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-83845","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-the-floggings-will-continue-until-morale-improves","category-your-tax-dollars-at-work","category-blather","category-satire"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/83845","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/653"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=83845"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/83845\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=83845"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=83845"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=83845"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
