Obama testifies at Senate Hearings on Global Warming

[illinoisprogressive]

I ran across this in Arch Pundit. No real story with it but, I found it interesting that he testified for a global warming hearing. Also that no mention or story about this was out.
Anyway, thought it interesting.

1. F.Y.I. This was Boxer's 1/30 hearing, where Clinton and McCain also testified

Because Clinton and Obama have signed onto anti-global warming legislation written by McCain:

I believe this is the McCain bill in question, it's the one listed on his Senate website:
