Evan Bayh Is Most Conservative Senate Democrat, Ratings Say
By Tom Diemer - Politics DailyThe most conservative Senate Democrat? The most liberal Republican? Read all about it in National Journal's vote ratings, drawn up to measure the ideological range of this fightin' and feudin' 111th Congress. National Journal, an influential and deeply reported magazine and Web site, used its own editors and reporters to compile more than 90 roll-call votes on economic, social and foreign policy legislation in the Senate and the House of Representatives. They then graded lawmakers as liberal or conservative based on those votes. They've been doing it since 1981 and, as always, there were ...
James Inhofe to EPA Chief: 'I Really Like You,' but Global Warming Is a 'Hoax'
By Patricia Murphy - Politics DailySen. James Inhofe (R-Okla.), the famous global warming skeptic and top Republican on the Senate's Environment and Public Works Committee, took a moment to warm relations with EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson at an EPW hearing on the EPA's budget Tuesday. "I'm going to say in front of all these people: I really do like you," Inhofe said to Jackson, who smiled at the apparently sincere compliment. "We've spent time in my office, we've talked about our kids and all that, and I just say that from my heart and I want you to know that that's true." Inhofe also praised Jackson for her work cleaning ...
Yes, Global Warming Could Be Cause of D.C. Snowstorm
By Ria Misra - Politics DailyThere's bipartisan agreement on at least one thing in Washington this week: There's a whole lot of snow outside. After two paralyzing storms swept through the District in quick succession, the area was blanketed in almost two and a half feet of snow. Climate change skeptics quickly pointed to the winter storms as proof that Al Gore and climate researchers have their facts exactly backward. Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.), for example, twittered during the storm on Tuesday, "It's going to keep snowing in DC until Al Gore cries 'uncle.'" And Sen. James Inhofe (R-Okla.), on his Facebook page, posted ...
Prince Albert of Monaco: Global Warming Is For Real
By Andrea Stone - AOL NewsWASHINGTON (Nov. 30) -- Prince Albert of Monaco today waded into the controversy over the hacked e-mails that have given fresh ammo to climate change skeptics, saying, "There is no more room for doubt." The prince, who heads a private environmental foundation that works on issues related to climate change, said the tempest over the e-mails was predictable. But it doesn't change what he sees as the fundamental reality. "On every subject of scientific nature there is some controversy. There can be opposing arguments or opposing theories. [And] this will be reviewed," said the head of the ...
Studies: As Ice Sheets Flow and Melt, Oceans Continue to Rise
By David Knowles - AOL News(Nov. 23) - Since 2006, the Antarctic ice sheet has been flowing into the surrounding ocean at an increased rate, resulting in ever-rising sea levels, a new study says. Researchers at the University of Texas at Austin said satellite images suggest sea level will likely to rise faster than previously predicted. "If the current trend continues or gets worse, Antarctica could become the largest contributor to sea level rises in the world. It could start to lose more ice than Greenland within a few years," the study's lead author, Jianli Chen, told the BBC. The study's release comes as world ...
Flip-Flopping Senator Shelby Now Says Obama Is a Citizen
By Dylan and Ethan Ris - Politics DailyTalk about spineless! Senator Richard Shelby (R-America Goddammit) appears to have done a complete 180 on the leading issue of today's economic crisis: President Obama's citizenship.Just last week, Shelby convened a quorum of dignitaries at the All Steak Restaurant in Cullman, Alabama, and allegedly said of Obama:"Well his father was Kenyan and they said he was born in Hawaii, but I haven't seen any birth certificate. You have to be born in America to be president."But all of a sudden, Shelby has shifted his talking points-- to the extent that he makes John Kerry's voting record seem downright ...
Warming Bill May Set Tone for Bali
By Jay Allbritton - Politics DailyIn February, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Russia, the UK, the US, Brazil, China, India, Mexico and South Africa agreed in principle to a tentative outline of a successor to the Kyoto Protocol. The Kyoto Protocol, which calls for the reduction of greenhouse gas, had been rebuffed by the last two administrations. At the time, Senator Joe Lieberman said, "I want to make a prediction, which is that the Congress of the United States will enact a nationwide law mandating substantial reductions in greenhouse gases before the end of this Congress or early in the next." With a major summit in ...
