United States House Select Committee on Energy Independence and Global Warming
The House Select Committee on Energy Independence and Global Warming was a select committee of the U.S. House of Representatives. It was established March 8, 2007 through adoption of a resolution by a 269–150 vote of the full House.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=The Select Committee on Energy Independence and Global Warming )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=House creates new committee to study global warming )〕 The committee existed from 2007 to 2011, and was not renewed when the Republicans gained control of the House for the 112th Congress.
==Controversy==
Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced plans to create the select committee on January 18, 2007, which immediately drew objections from many House Republicans as well as some House Democrats, particularly Chairman John Dingell of the powerful Energy and Commerce Committee, which has primary jurisdiction over environmental and climate change issues and Chairman Charles Rangel of the Ways and Means Committee.〔(Pelosi Creates Global Warming Committee ) Associated Press, Breitbart.com January 18, 2007〕 Pelosi was able to reach a compromise with Chairman Dingell, wherein the committee will be advisory in nature, without the legislative authority granted to standing committees.〔(Pelosi, Dingell Compromise in House Over Climate Issue ), Associated Press, Fox News website February 7, 2007〕 Several Republican leaders, including Energy and Commerce Committee Ranking Member Joe Barton continue to object to the committee calling it a "platform for some members to grandstand."〔
The committee received criticism from Republicans, who argued "that the committee was unnecessary or that its budget could be used better by the ethics committee."
In January 2011, the new Republican-controlled House decided to kill the committee, ultimately resulting in criticism from environmentalists and climate researchers.〔http://planetsave.com/2011/01/04/select-committee-on-energy-independence-and-global-warming-final-report/〕〔http://www.canadafreepress.com/index.php/article/30685〕
