House Natural Resources Committee Chairman Rob Bishop has a message for both Democrats and Republicans: “Mellow out” on climate change.

The Utah Republican made the statement after Rep. Bruce Westerman, R-Ark., began questioning White House Council on Environmental Quality managing director Christy Goldfuss, who testified before the committee Wednesday on a new climate guidance issued by the administration.
