Climate Disconnect in Congress
More or less, a "for whatever it's worth" link:
http://scienceblogs.com/...den/2013/07/09/climate-disconnect
quote:
On July 9, 2013, Rep. Henry A. Waxman released a report comparing the impacts of climate change in members’ districts with members’ voting records. The report found a widespread climate disconnect in the voting records of the Republican members representing the districts most affected by the soaring temperatures in 2012. They cast anti-climate votes 96% of the time. No similar climate disconnect was found in the voting records of House Democrats.
Link to full report:

Re: Climate Disconnect in Congress
Yes, I agree.
My impression was "Kind of amusing but not really valid use of statistics".

Calling out the Koch Brothers
Maybe close to a bare link, but here it is:
http://scienceblogs.com/.../11/calling-out-the-koch-brothers
quote:
Washington, DC — Today, Monday, from 4:45 p.m. to 6:45 p.m., tomorrow, Tuesday, from 5 p.m. to 7:30 p.m., and throughout the week,* 19 Senators will take to the Senate floor to call out Koch brothers- and fossil fuel industry-funded groups that have fashioned a web of denial to block action on climate change.
quote:
WHO:
Senator Harry Reid (D-NV)
Senator Barbara Boxer (D-CA)
Senator Richard Durbin (D-IL)
Senator Jack Reed (D-RI)
Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY)
Senator Ben Cardin (D-MD)
Senator Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI)
Senator Tom Udall (D-NM)
Senator Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH)
Senator Jeff Merkley (D-OR)
Senator Al Franken (D-MN)
Senator Chris Coons (D-DE)
Senator Richard Blumenthal (D-CT)
Senator Brian Schatz (D-HI)
Senator Martin Heinrich (D-NM)
Senator Tim Kaine (D-VA)
Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA)
Senator Edward Markey (D-MA)
Senator Gary Peters (D-MI)
See the cite for more details.
Now to see what comes of this. Any Republicans going to join in?
