Climate
I applaud @NancyPelosi for forming a Select Committee on the Climate Crisis. This Committee must address climate change for what it is: a public health crisis, a matter of economic justice, and an existential threat.
We must deliver real solutions, not piecemeal suggestions. https://t.co/f042L2c8NE
