Senate Votes 98-1 that Climate Change 'Is Not a Hoax'

United States senators are now on the record on the question of whether climate change is "a hoax."  But a majority of the Senate, including 15 Republicans, are also on record stating that human activity contributes to climate change.

The Senate on Wednesday passed a measure stating that "climate change is real and is not a hoax" by a margin of 98-1.

The Senate also voted down two amendments to the bill approving the Keystone XL pipeline stating that human activity contributes to climate change.  (Each amendment needed 60 votes to pass.)
