Just for the record, a solid majority of senators voted for the measure (51-42), but it needed 60 votes to pass. The vote was for an amendment to a water projects bill that would have required the Army Corps of Engineers to take climate science into account in planning projects that might destroy natural barriers that protect coastal communities from storms and floods. http://www.sanluisobispo.com/347/story/42239.html In other words, the reference to a "global warming measure" is technically accurate but misleading. (Shemp, it sure would be nice if you'd go to the trouble to post links to your articles so we know where they're from.)
