Without a bipartisan consensus, the Select Committee on Climate Crisis is a failure

At the beginning of the 116th Congress, Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Democrats were so focused on climate change that they created a new select committee designed to make science-based policy recommendations on how to address climate change. To further emphasize the need for action, the majority named it the Select Committee on the Climate Crisis.

The creation of this committee was a headline-grabber, with promise of real solutions to address this serious problem we face. The committee started out with a bang but has culminated in disappointment.
