When President Bush spoke for the first time in a State of the Union speech about the need to "confront the serious challenge of global climate change," environmentalists celebrated something of a turnaround for the Republican Party - which had put a senator who called global warming a "hoax" in charge of the Senate environmental committee. But did the party indeed shift? A new poll out this month in the National Journal questioned members of Congress about their views on climate change and found climate change skeptics among the ranks of Republicans.

In surveying 113 members of the House and Senate, the nonpartisan publication asked: "Do you think it's been proven beyond a reasonable doubt that the Earth is warming because of man-made problems?"

Among Republicans, 84 percent said no. Among Democrats, 95 percent said yes.
