A group of 28 senators will take over the Senate floor on Monday evening for an all-night talk-a-thon on climate change.

 The senators plan to start their climate-fest on Monday, March 10, after the last votes, and continue until around 9 a.m. on Tuesday.  The senators are part of the Climate Action Task Force, which was launched in January. 

 The event, said Sen. Brian Schatz (D-Hawaii), is meant "to show the growing number of senators who are committed to working together to confront climate change."

 The number of participating senators has grown since the event was first announced several weeks ago. Now they're up to 26 Democrats and two independents.  The senators are also planning to tweet the event using the hashtag #Up4Climate.
