Phew.
But are we causing it?
Oh no-no-no, says half the Senate. Forty-nine senators (full list here) voted on Wednesday against an amendment that said climate change is happening and, crucially, that it’s actually-for-real caused by human emissions.
That’s something scientists are pretty darn sure about, and have been for more than a decade.
These votes — particularly the not-a-hoax vote — have been heralded by some in environmental circles, including Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-California, as a sign of progress, like a “coming out” party of sorts.

And skip the rest.
It’s mostly hot air.
