There was a hearing in the Senate on July 18, 2013 called "Climate Change: It's Happening Now". The above link is Bernie Sanders opening comments. Here is a link to the entire hearing:

This is an hour into the hearing. Senators from both sides at this point have made their opening statements and as you can imagine they are polar opposite by party affiliation. Republicans of course, deny any change in climate and talk about jobs and money and Obama and alarmists.

I'm still listening to it but I wanted to share these great opening remarks.

1. This is was real leadership looks and sounds like.

It's time the rest of the Senate started to follow Senator Sanders example.

2. I certainly appreciate Sen Sanders continued passion in such frustration times. nm

3. Sanders pulls no punches.

"It is intellectually beyond comprehension" that you have people denying that climate change is real.

That's been obvious for a long time now, and Sanders is telling it like it is.
