For the first time in more than eight years, the U.S. Senate voted on the highly partisan issue is climate change, with a surprising majority of senators voting to declare that the phenomenon does in fact exist. The vote – which was on an amendment to the controversial Keystone XL pipeline bill – flatly declares that climate change is “not a hoax.” The non-binding resolution initiated by Democratic Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse was widely viewed as a way to sway Republicans to go along with the declaration on climate change in exchange for Democratic support for the Keystone XL Pipeline. We focus on the future political implications the Senate climate change debate is likely to have in this Lip News clip with Mark Sovel and Elliot Hill.
