Democrats oppose Alaska senator's moves on global-warming [hoax] legislation | Greenspace | Los Angeles Times

Democrats on the committee, led by Chairwoman Barbara Boxer, signed a letter Monday urging the Democratic majority to oppose any of Murkowski's efforts to negate the EPA's so-called endangerment finding that carbon dioxide and other planet-warming gases posed a public health risk worthy of regulation. Boxer and fellow Democrats wrote:

"Debating policy choices regarding the appropriate response to unchecked climate change is fair, and the Senate will continue to evaluate the best tools for addressing greenhouse gas emissions, but repealing an endangerment finding based upon years of work by America's scientists and public health experts is not appropriate."

Rick Roberts, executive director of the Snook Foundation, said this could be the worst weather-related snook kill since 1977, the year it snowed in Florida and an estimated 1 million snook died.

A freeze in 1989 killed 60,000 snook in Tampa Bay alone. It took five years for that population to rebound.

"What we're looking at is a phenomenon that not many living people have seen," Roberts said. "We'll have at least as many dead fish that died in '77, if not twice as many. Every fish that swims has been affected."
