"Two House Oversight and Reform panels met yesterday to discuss climate change, but they didn't do much overseeing.

Instead, the hearings were often marred by bickering over basic science and relentless Republican attacks on the Green New Deal, demonstrating the fluid GOP stance on climate issues.

First up was a full committee hearing where Republicans repeatedly yielded their time to conservative Rep. Thomas Massie. The Kentucky Republican questioned climate science and attacked the credentials of former Secretary of State John Kerry, one of the witnesses (Greenwire, April 9)."
