Disagreement Is "Bogus"

Democrat Senator reaches deep into the scientific terminology to rebut skeptics.

Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.) declared on the Senate floor Thursday that the debate over whether humans are causing climate change is over, and that it has been shown conclusively that human activity is leading to global warming.

"People say there are questions about the theory," he said. "No, there are not.

"The argument that the jury is still out on climate change is a false and bogus argument," he added. "The jury is not out. In fact, the jury is in, the effects are obvious, they surround us every day, and we need to take action."
