While they’re at it, I think they should vote to make Pi equal to 3.0. Think of how much easier that would be to remember!

The Sanders measure asks whether lawmakers agree with the overwhelming consensus of scientists who say climate change is impacting the planet and is worsened by human-caused greenhouse....."

You don't have to be a scientist to understand that climate change impacts the planet. Of course it does. Our presence on Earth more than likely has a negative impact as well. This is not the issue.

It takes a socialist to cherry pick data and selectively choose quotes from scientists

If they have a bit of spare time after they vote on climate change, I'd sure like to see them vote to prohibit asteroids from hitting the earth.

Man, government sure is COOL!

vote on whether climate change is impacting the planet? Has the climate ever stayed the same. I think we have geological evidence that indicates climate has always changed. however they are framing the question with an assumption that WE are causing climate change. These bozo’s can’t even ask the right question —— which is whether the Senate believes man is responsible for climate change to an overwhelming degree AND if they believe man can take actions to reverse climate change. of course — the obvious question is — reverse it to what end? what if we are entering an ice age — then perhaps we would want some warming.

If they vote yes, does that mean it is?

These slime bags are so drunk with power, that they believe they can will it so, even though it is garbage.

No serious person still believes in the global warming hoax.

Hard to believe that they actually think that climate isn’t changing, and that the actual vote is worded on about how big of a deal human activity is/isn’t involved.

Although I think most of the people in government ARE idiots. Too focused on politics to really have a good understanding about the world, economics, etc. They really might be debating if the climate changes or not!

McConnell said "nobody is blocking any amendments" to legislation that would approve construction of the Keystone XL pipeline.

Say WHAT????? So no matter what the dems present as amendments, they're acceptable as long as the dems vote for the bill???

Yep it is.

Changes 4 times a year where I live. Right now it is a cold climate, followed by a mild sun shiny climate, then hotter than hell climate then finally a mild wet climate.

Happens every year, Sanders...

I'm not aware of any such 'overwhelming consensus'.

I am, however, aware of carpetbagging leftists who think no lie is too big to advance their political agenda.

You know there is.

"I am, however, aware of carpetbagging leftists who think no lie is too big to advance their political agenda."

Exactly! The next question to be asked is just WHY must the "solution" be that Western democracies (the USA) PAY for EVERYTHING?

China has what, five times our population.

India has four times our population.

And Earth has 6-7 billion people over all.

Even if we literally spent every dollar on clean energy or whatever nonsense the liberals demand, it won't make a DENT in overall "pollution" or "climate change".

Why so many people fall for this garbage is a mystery.

I guess when you're fat and happy you can spend your time on useless fools errands all day long.

I think it would be more important to vote on how many angels can fit on the head of a pin.

Other amendments from Democrats include a requirement for oil companies to pay into a spill cleanup fund, and to block exports of the oil shipped via the Canada-to-Texas pipeline out of the U.S.

Typical. Blocking oil exports will only further lower oil prices in this country, thus further endangering oil producers.

Full disclosure: I don't mind lower oil prices, but I am aware that they have a downside, so export away!

DOOMAGE!

Have the Senators vote on if they have read an indisputable conclusion based on science facts that man is causing climate change where anyone is financially or health-wise negatively affected.

I fixed climate change last night while I was tinkering around in my basement. It’s over. I fixed it. Everyone can celebrate and go home now. It’s ok to continue talking about the weather though.
