Looks like Pelosi’s global warming bill put on ice

Unusual cold air descending on New York City Tuesday and yesterday triggers Grumpy Editor to wonder whatever happened to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s goal, declared last Jan. 18, to create a special committee to focus on global warming.

The California Democrat announced that desire at a time when the nation was in a deep freeze, including four consecutive nights of subfreezing temperatures that smacked the speaker's home state citrus crop, causing nearly $1 billion in losses.

Pelosi had hopes of producing some sort of global warming bill by July 4 --- seven weeks ago.

Tuesday’s high temperature in New York City’s Central Park reached a cool 59 degrees.  That tied the record for August's coldest maximum temperature.  Normal high on that date is 82.

Meanwhile, on the other coast, the temperature today in Pelosi’s San Francisco Bay Area district was expected to reach 70.
