OAB, Utah — A pair of U.S. senators — a Democrat and a Republican — jump in a raft and head down river.

It sounds like a lead-in for some corny political joke. But it happened last weekend on the Colorado River, with Colorado’s Sen. Michael Bennet, the Democrat, joining Utah’s Mitt Romney, the Republican, on a float through billion-year-old geology. Their time together was meant to forge a relationship that might supersede politics and help the West better address the ravages of a warming climate.

Where were they in 2003 when it was much worse on the Colorado?

GOD controls "climate change", NOT man!

The Truth is irrelevant to the Godless Population Control crowd.

*Romney asked about a pipeline moving water from the wet East, maybe from the Great Lakes region. Is it possible? Not really, said Mueller, noting the multi-state compact approved by Congress in 2008 that prevents Great Lake water from leaving the region’s watershed.*

I do believe the rats had both houses in 2008. No way they’d go along. Perhaps piping it in from Canada?

“GOD controls “climate change”, NOT man! “

Yes, climate has been changing continuously since Creation. If it didn’t, there would be no life on planet earth. It is by divine design.

If I said this is a ‘working vacation’ for them I’d be half-right.

Those 2 twits are too stupid to realize that an ever increasing population drawing water from the colorado river might affect water levels.

The writer is correct. It is a corny political joke.

Liberals confuse weather with climate change. Real climate change takes hundreds of years to occur.

They probably had life jackets and helmets so there was little danger. Darn. No special news here. They wouldn’t be all cheerful about the news that a Democrat and a RINO are fraternizing outside of the Senate chamber. It is really just an excuse for them to take a rafting trip on the taxpayer tab.

Think they'd notice if the life jackets were filled with sponge?

How many dams are on the Colorado? 5 major dams and dozens of diversion and irrigation dams.

“help the West better address the ravages of a warming climate.”

“Record cold is engulfing large swathes of the South American continent this week, ravaging the region’s crops, lowering yields and spiking prices.

Thanks to a powerful Antarctic air mass, nations such as Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay, Bolivia, and BRAZIL are suffering an extreme and unprecedented chill, with historic snowfall to match.”

Brrrrr it’s awful warm this winter.
