Half of Senate Refuses to Formally Acknowledge Man-Made Climate Change 
-----------------------------------------------------------------------


 
Half of the United States Senate has refused to formally acknowledge the
existence of man-made climate change. Forty-nine Republicans voted
against a measure noting "human activity significantly contributes to
climate change." The Senate did overwhelmingly approve a resolution
acknowledging that climate change is not a hoax; just one person voted
against it — Mississippi Republican Sen. Roger Wicker.
