Finally somebody is doing something, and Hawaii has a leadership role in being part of the solution:
WASHINGTON - U.S. Sen. Brian Schatz (D-Hawaii) will lead a new specialized committee of Senate Democrats aimed at combatting climate change.
Schatz, along with Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), made the announcement Wednesday morning in Washington. Hawaii's senior U.S. Senator will lead a group of nine members on the Senate Democrats’ Special Committee on Climate Change.
"What we decided is that if (McConnell) isn't going to do it, we can't wait until 2021 when and if we're in charge of the Senate," Schatz said. "We're going to take action now."
