U.S. Senate Finally Acknowledges Climate Change is Real

The United States Senate on January 21, 2015, engaged in a series of votes in which the Senate finally acknowledged that climate change is real. Even long-time promoter of the idea that climate change is the biggest hoax ever perpetrated, Senator James Inhofe, voted for a measure stating “Climate change is real and not a hoax.” Howver, Inhofe went on to vehemently deny that humans were the cause of climate change, a sentiment still shared by many in the Senate despite extensive science demonstrating that increased CO2 levels and associated changes to the climate system are attributable to human activity.
