— From House Agriculture Committee
Yesterday, the House Agriculture Committee held a hearing to review pending climate change legislation under consideration by Congress.

“Many Members of the House Agriculture Committee have serious concerns about how climate change legislation being considered in Congress will affect the people living in their districts,” Agriculture Committee Chairman Collin Peterson said. “This hearing has helped us better understand what is being proposed and what can be done to improve the legislation.”
