House republicans passed a bill clearing the way for the Keystone XL Pipeline to be built. Now the Senate must vote on it. But theres a hitch, Bernie Sanders added an amendment to the bill. Heres the text of that amendment: “It is the sense of Congress that Congress is in agreement with the opinion of virtually the entire worldwide scientific community that— (1) climate change is real; (2) climate change is caused by human activities; (3) climate change has already caused devastating problems in the United States and around the world; (4) a brief window of opportunity exists before the United States and the entire planet suffer irreparable harm; and (5) it is imperative that the United States transform its energy system away from fossil fuels and toward energy efficiency and sustainable energy as rapidly as possible.” Well played Bernie, well played. (RA)
