Kansas House Panel Resists Federal Climate Change Plan
My state is run by ignorant zealots - it’s a real embarrassment. Employers: please don’t hold this against Kansas graduates - the schools here are still among the best in the nation although you wouldn’t know it from whom the Kansas voters put in office.
A Kansas House committee began weighing a resolution on Thursday that urges Congress to resist following President Barack Obama’s plan for addressing man-made climate change during a hearing that highlighted the rival views on the role of humans in global warming.
Members of the House Energy and Environment Committee heard nearly two hours of testimony about the measure but took no action. The resolution cites Obama’s 2013 plan that calls for a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions and encourages development of renewable forms of energy.
