 [I hate it when that happens:] Mediterranean is turning into a "sea of hell"
Climate change has filled the sea with alien species such as poisonous puffer fish while algae is coating the seabed with slime, the environmental organisation said.

A sorry collection of 212 Democrats and eight shameless Republicans in the United States House of Representatives sought to inflict serious economic damage upon the American people when they voted for a bill designed to combat a fantasy, global warming — a figment of their inflamed imaginations.

As the debate on the infamous cap-and-trade bill droned on, member after member of Congress rose to describe the horrors global warming is allegedly inflicting upon helpless humanity.

The Senate voted 21-11 along party lines Tuesday for a resolution calling on Congress to oppose a bill that would cap carbon emissions. Senate Republicans say the bill would destroy jobs and lead to higher prices for gas and other commodities.
