Senators Launch Resolution, Speech Blitz Calling Out #WebOfDenial Blocking Climate Action

[SecularMotion]

Today and tomorrow, at least 19 U.S. Senators who understand the need to clear the PR pollution that continues to block overdue climate policy action will speak out on the Senate floor in support of the Senate Web of Denial Resolution calling out the destructive forces of fossil fuel industry-funded climate denial.

Championed by Senators Whitehouse, Markey, Schatz, Boxer, Merkley, Warren, Sanders, and Franken, the resolution condemns what they are calling the #WebOfDenial — “interconnected groups – funded by the Koch brothers, major fossil fuel companies like ExxonMobil and Peabody Coal, identity-scrubbing groups like Donors Trust and Donors Capital, and their allies – developed and executed a massive campaign to deceive the public about climate change to halt climate action and protect their bottom lines.”

Joined in the House of Representatives by Congressman Ted Lieu (D- CA), these champions for climate action and accountability in the Senate are calling out the use of think tanks and denier-for-hire front groups to create doubt about climate science. Read the resolution.

1. That's a good group, but too few.

Where's Susan Collins? Or is she so sold out that her ethics are in shambles. Given her recent voting record, I think she is in utter shambles.

We need the US Senate with a Democratic Majority Leader. Please God! Hopefully not Schumer. I am with Durbin.
