Global Warming Hoax Committee Axed

Almost makes 2010 worth it, all by itself. From Politico:

The House Democrats’ prized global warming committee died quietly on Wednesday.

It was four years old.

Created in 2007 by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) to draw attention to the causes and effects of climate change, the committee didn’t have much of a chance to survive the upcoming Republican takeover. Wednesday, the axe fell…

The only purpose of the committee was to press forward “cap and trade” taxes and provide slush funds for favored, liberal environmental pressure groups. Oh, and to provide yet another Democrat with the title of “Chairman”. In love with the world, Democrat prize power, prestige…and the empty vanity of titles.

This is a symbolic gesture, of course – the tiniest of down payments on the reform of government. But, still, it warms the heart that, at the least, this massive hoax and boondoggle won’t have a committee in Congress.
