For the rulers of the world’s most powerful country, science is just a matter of opinion ...

On April 6, three members of the U.S. House of Representatives proposed this amendment to a bill under discussion:

Congress accepts the scientific findings of the Environmental Protection Agency that climate changes is occurring, is caused largely by human activities, and poses significant risks for public health and welfare.

The amendment was defeated 240 to 184.
