Geee Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 The Hill:A House Energy and Commerce Committee panel will wade into climate science Tuesday against the backdrop of accelerating GOP efforts to scuttle Environmental Protection Agency regulation of greenhouse gases. The committee released details Friday of the March 8 Energy and Power Subcommittee hearing on climate science and EPA rules, a session that committee Democrats requested.Witnesses invited by the Democrats include Richard Somerville, who is an emeritus professor at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of California-San Diego.Somerville helped organize the 2007 Bali Climate Declaration signed by over 200 scientists, which warns that millions will be at risk from heat waves, droughts, floods and other extreme weather. It states that in order to keep temperature increases below 2 degrees Celsius, emissions must peak and begin falling within 10-15 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
