Senators Call for Climate Vote This Year | Mother Jones

When (or if) a climate and energy package would go to a vote remains unclear. As of yet, there's not actual legislative text, and the Environmental Protection Agency would need five to six weeks to evaluate the both the environmental and economic impacts of the bill before it could go to the floor.

This is by no means an indictment of school science teachers, who often have to achieve steep goals with few resources and even less support. But if various groups of scientists are still, for example, debating the role of solar activity in climate change , it seems unlikely that any but the most dedicated teacher would be able to unravel the complexities of climate forcings.
