The Senate Actually Just Acknowledged Climate Change Is Real

WASHINGTON — The Senate voted Wednesday to acknowledge that climate change is real, bringing itself up to date with every major scientific body in the world.

But the Senate also voted down a pair of measures acknowledging that human activity plays any role in that change.

Democrats say they’re not done trying to force Republicans on the record on climate change. Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) said there will be a vote Thursday on his own amendment on climate change.

“It starts by admitting you have a problem, just like many other areas of human life,” Whitehouse said Wednesday in a speech.
