CQ Politics | CQ Transcripts: Speaker Nancy Pelosi Holds a News Conference

...In terms of the timing of climate change legislation, we would be working closely with the Obama legislation -- excuse me -- the Obama- to-be administration on the nature and timing of it.

But many decisions have to be made about it yet. We know what our principles are that need to be followed. They have been established largely through the work of the select committee. But then there are some decisions in terms of implementation, and we want to do it right, and we want to do it in a bipartisan way, and we want to do it working with a new president of the United States.

But if the science has been settled since 1992, why haven't Pelosi et al already made their decisions by now?

"Only an insignificant fraction of scientists deny the global warming
crisis. The time for debate is over. The science is settled."

So said Al Gore ... in 1992.
