Greenhouse of Representatives

March 08, 2007

ABC News' Jake Tapper Reports: The House of Representatives voted today to create a new congressional committee, devoted solely to addressing the issue of global warming.

Legislation creating the new "Select Committee on Energy Independence and Global Warming" passed 269 to 150, with 44 Republicans voting in favor of its creation.

"Global warming may be the greatest challenge of our time," said House Speaker Nancy Pelosi in a statement released to media following the vote.

"In the House of Representatives, debate on global warming has been stifled for 12 years; we can't wait any longer," she said.
