Barbara Boxer resigned to incremental progress for environment - Daily Democrat Online
"Obviously the large ... bill that we wanted is not going to happen at this point," Boxer said during a 45-minute question-and-answer session in her Senate office. But "if we focus on energy efficiency, we can achieve a lot of reductions in carbon pollution."

While opponents of sweeping climate change legislation clearly have the upper hand in Congress, Boxer said she'll continue to highlight what she sees as the serious environmental threat of global warming through committee hearings on the subject. Republicans will be invited to share their views, Boxer said.
"It will be contentious," she said. "But I think it's very healthy for the American people see the debate unfold."

The factors that resulted in the 20th century global temperature run-up have been discovered. The contribution of atmospheric carbon dioxide is between small and insignificant.
A simple equation, with inputs of accepted measurements, calculates the average global temperatures since 1895 with 88% accuracy (87.6% if CO2 is assumed to have no influence). See the equation, an eye-opening graph of the results and how they are derived in the pdfs at http://climaterealists.com/index.php?tid=145&linkbox=true (see especially the pdfs made public on 4/10/10 and 6/27/10).
The future average global temperature trend that this equation calculates is down.
