Sen. Carper Votes in Favor of Climate Science

The title link is to a very interesting and gratifying speech by Senator Carper. As most of you who follow this blog are Delawareans with interests in climate change and climate science, I thought you might like to view this 8 minute video of a speech he made on the Senate floor.

The lead in to the video is: "June 10, 2010 - Listen to Sen. Tom Carper (D-Del.) speak on the U.S. Senate floor against Senator Lisa Murkowski's (R-Alaska) legislation that would have prevented the U.S. EPA from regulating harmful air pollution under the Clean Air Act. The legislation, S. J. RES. 26, was defeated by a vote of 47 to 53."

Also, as you are probably aware, there is new legislation in the works to take away the EPA's power to regulate pollution 'that only degrades the climate on Earth' (my quotes).
