Sen. Frank Lautenberg, D-N.J., thanked Boxer for “daring to walk into this bonfire of reality.”...“The scientific community is as close to unified as it is on anything ever,” said Christopher Field, professor at Stanford University. “We've really reached the point where the question of whether the earth is warming is really no longer in doubt.”...[Christy] said legislation should be based on observation, not speculation, because models had overpredicted temperature changes.

“When it comes to legislation or regulatory actions, there really is nothing that will definitively alter what the climate is going to do,” he said.

It was an idea embraced by the Republican Sen. Jeff Sessions of Alabama.

“The question for American policymakers is: ‘How much can we demand this economy pay to meet and confront a fear that is not being proven by empirical data?'” he said.

From a political perspective, the best thing we sceptics have going for us is Senator Barbara (Box of Rocks) Boxer.

Apologies to all "Boxes of Rocks."
