United States senators are now on the record on the question of whether climate change is "a hoax."
The Senate on Wednesday passed a measure stating that "climate change is real and is not a hoax" by a margin of 98-1.
The amendment was designed in part as a jab at GOP Sen. James Inhofe of Oklahoma, who has questioned the science of climate change.
Inhofe voted for the measure, arguing that the true "hoax" is that climate change is the result of human activity.
"Climate is changing, and climate has always changed, and always will, there's archeological evidence of that, there's biblical evidence of that, there's historic evidence of that, it will always change," he said on the Senate floor. "The hoax is that there are some people that are so arrogant to think that they are so powerful that they can change climate. Man can't change climate."

The U.S. Senate has ruled — we don’t need to know anything more. The climate had better get in line with this ruling, or else.
They had better explain themselves. Most short attention span Americans can’t and won’t figure it out.
Did they define the term “Climate Change” at all?
Climate is always changing, how can one deny it?
maybe they’re all so old they have no idea what’s going on

I agree 100% that there is “climate change” ... or global warming and global cooling. That’s verified 100% throughout earth’s history.
The “hoax” is “ANTHROPOGENIC GLOBAL WARMING”!
Its colder here today than it was yesterday.
Global warming and global cooling is 100% verified! It’s “Anthropogenic Global Warming” that is a hoax and false!
Lame gutless Repugs who voted for this climate change crap are as much to be blamed as anyone.
What pisses me off is this means even Ted Cruz is admitting Climate Change is real?????
Next they’ll vote that gravity is only a statistic.
The lone no vote was from Sen. Roger Wicker of Mississippi.
RE: Global warming and global cooling is 100% verified! It’s “Anthropogenic Global Warming” that is a hoax and false!
OK, so why not vote on “Anthropogenic Global Warming” or “Anthropogenic Global cooling” instead? Why hide behind the all-encompassing term: “Climate Change”?
What’s the point of this exercise?
There’s a reason that Congress is less popular than colonoscopies and cockroaches.
What do we pay these people for?
Folks ... is your climate the same today as it was in July ?
See ?
Let's see where this goes
