"Climate: 17 Republicans Back Resolution Urging Action On Warming"

"The Republican climate resolution that jump-started a conversation on global warming ahead of Pope Francis' 2015 visit to Capitol Hill is back.

In addition to acknowledging the problem of warming, the 17 climate-savvy House Republicans backing the mainly symbolic legislation say they are prepared to embrace policies that help cut carbon dioxide emissions or adapt to the impacts of climate change.

Republican Reps. Elise Stefanik of New York, Carlos Curbelo of Florida and Ryan Costello of Pennsylvania led the effort."
