Freshman Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez unveiled a new climate change initiative on Thursday — and had it swiftly knocked down by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Pelosi told Politico in wide-ranging interview, however, that it's just a 'suggestion' and one of 'many' the caucus is likely to receive on green energy. 'She did in fact invite me to be on the committee,' Ocasio-Cortez said later. Pelosi and Ocasio-Cortez were on a collision course a day later as the latter pushed her green initiative. 'Even the solutions that we have considered big and bold are nowhere near the scale of the actual problem that climate change presents to us,' Ocasio-Cortez told NPR on Morning Edition.
