Koch Brothers-Backed House GOP Works To Abolish EPA Rules On Climate Change

The House Energy and Commerce Committee, which is now chaired and dominated by Republicans funded by the oil industry Koch Brothers, is working to abolish EPA rules designed to reduce climate change. (More billions for the Kochs!) Despite daylong expert scientific testimony, GOP committee members repeatedly denounced the evidence and declared that Democrats want to destroy the nation's energy supply. That prompted Rep. Ed Markey (D-MA) to deliver one of the best responses you'll like hear in something as normally dry-as-dust as an energy meeting.

Yeah, I had to look up Schrödinger's Cat too. Shortly after Markey's speech, the bill was advanced to the full House by a voice vote.
