Democrat to Republicans: Climate hearing will be on science, not politics - The Hill's E2-Wire

The Senate Environment Committee’s top Democrat is rejecting GOP calls to force Obama administration officials to defend the new White House climate plan at a hearing next week.

Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) said Thursday that next week’s hearing will focus on climate science testimony from outside experts, but that federal officials would appear in the future.

“I’m trying to keep politics out of this first hearing, and trying to focus in on non-political people who are scientists to give us an update on the science, but we will look at political people in the next round,” Boxer, the chairwoman of the Environment and Public Works Committee, told reporters in the Capitol.
