Pelosi on Global Warming: ‘My Flagship Issue’ Is ‘To Preserve this Planet’

EXCERPT:

PELOSI: "Through this deal, there is plenty of accountability. [crosstalk] And let me just say, in all fairness to you, what the president based his decision on is a memo that is totally false. It doesn't have factual basis. And that’s really a problem. That's a large issue for this, or for health care or any other large subject, you have to have a factual basis; evidence, data, truth, facts. And the memo that he was given, supposedly by his general counsel or the people at the EPA was totally not factual. So the point is this is in America’s interest. When I became speaker, this was my flagship issue. The challenge to this generation, to preserve this planet, and working with the evangelicals who believe as to why that this planet is God’s creation, and we have a moral responsibility to be good to it."
