Climate Change is not a "Crisis"

I hate when they call the Climate Change Wachos agenda a fight against the "Climate Change Crisis".
It is the same as calling the Covid shots "vaccines". They aren't even close to a vaccine. Vaccines keep people from getting a disease. These shots just make Pfizer rich.
Does the GOP finally have a climate plan? Politico.
Republicans appear ready to cast off their label as the party that sidesteps or denies climate change. That doesn’t mean the GOP will embrace President Joe Biden’s agenda — quite the opposite — but the evidence suggests lawmakers are investing new energy into formulating a Republican response to the crisis, at least on paper. Under new Speaker Kevin McCarthy, the lower chamber’s Energy and Commerce Committee is updating its leadership roster and the names of relevant subcommittees to highlight the revamped GOP agenda, which specifically emphasizes the ties between climate and energy policy, writes Jeremy Dillon. For example, Rep. John Curtis of Utah, who heads the Conservative Climate Caucus, will serve as vice chair of the newly named Energy, Climate and Grid Security Subcommittee (formerly the Energy Subcommittee).
One Republican stands between the far right and ESG. E&E News.
Now in the majority, House Republicans have a chance to bring their campaign against climate-minded investing to a national stage — but party leaders are still deciding if they really want to. It will likely be Rep. Patrick McHenry (R-N.C.), the incoming chair of the Financial Services Committee, who bears the brunt of conservative impatience. So far, McHenry has been distancing himself from far-right attacks on so-called ESG investing, which screens investments for environmental, social and governance risks. His panel has jurisdiction over the practice. Over the past two years, at least 17 mostly Republican-led states have proposed or instituted policies to blacklist financial firms that promote ESG investing, often saying that it amounts to a “boycott” of fossil fuel companies. Texas, West Virginia and others now bar some asset managers — most notably BlackRock Inc. — from state business such as managing public employee retirement funds.

American Petroleum Institute (API) President and CEO Mike Sommers gave remarks during the 19th Annual State of the Energy Industry Forum, hosted by the U.S. Energy Association. Sommers emphasized API’s recently announced plan for policymakers in Washington to secure a sustainable, reliable energy future and make, move and improve American energy. Sommers outlined the three components of API’s policy plan unveiled during its annual State of American Energy event, during which members of Congress from both sides of the aisle voiced support for American energy leadership, including durable permitting reform to unleash energy development and an all-of-the-above approach to building a lower carbon future.
