Description
As of this writing, national legislation aimed to address the global climate crisis is bogged down in the US Senate. While Senator Barbara Boxer of California, the main sponsor along with John Kerry of Massachusetts, is anxious to hold a committee hearing on the bill, Republican Senators are thus far boycotting the entire effort. The Senate Republicans are denouncing the bill for many reasons, from outright denial of human responsibility for climate changes, to their inclination to defend fossil fuel interests, to claims that it's nothing more than another federal tax.
