The wording went from "climate change is real and human activity contributes to it" (which was voted down) to "climate change is not a hoax."

Pretty much, now Republicans are on record for acknowledging the science of climate change, but the impact of mankind on it is still in question.

Or, just yesterdays big waste of time.
Seriously the prophecy about the fate of democracies is playing out before our eyes in Congress. I dont know why so many of them take themselves so seriously. Their individual worth to this country is somewhere slightly south of gas station attendant

But think of the opportunities for campaign ads next year!
"Senator Joe Schmoe doesn't believe people are responsible for climate change and refused to pass a resolution saying so. We need a senator that doesn't go against science. Also War on Wymmin™"
