US Senate Set To Vote On Whether Climate Change Is a Hoax

Posted by samzenpus on from the who's-to-blame dept.

sciencehabit writes The U.S. Senate's simmering debate over climate science has come to a full boil today, as lawmakers prepare to vote on measures offered by Democrats that affirm that climate change is real—with one also noting that global warming is not "a hoax." In an effort to highlight their differences with some Republicans on climate policy, several Democrats have filed largely symbolic amendments to a bill that would approve the Keystone XL pipeline. They are designed to put senators on the record on whether climate change is real and human-caused.

    Why should "we" get a benefit from a pipeline? "We" aren't building a pipeline. A group of people calling themselves TransCanada is building it using their own time, money, and effort.
