United States Senate rejects link between human activity and climate change

Climate change "is not a hoax," according to the U.S. Senate, which voted 98 to 1 in favor of an amendment stating as much Wednesday. Explaining his vote, Sen. James Inhofe (R-Okla.) said that there was "Biblical evidence" of climate change, but that humans were not responsible for it.

With this amendment, Democrats had hoped to force Republicans to take a stance on the reality of global warming. They didn’t succeed. Two other amendments attributing climate change to human activity failed to achieve the 60 votes needed to advance.
