...That would be an unnecessarily enormous amount of intrusive government regulation if it weren’t for the increasingly obvious evidence that humans are causing global warming. Levine’s bill was overshadowed by the near simultaneous release of this year’s UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report, a massive review of research by over 2,000 leading climate scientists worldwide. Since 1990, the IPCC has released four reports, and the current one presented the strongest conclusions yet: one, that global warming is real, and two, that it’s very likely...

When Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said Bush's State of the Union proposal for a bipartisan terrorism panel was redundant, Lieberman, who supported the idea, privately sent Reid a letter saying he was "upset." Within days, Reid backed down and negotiated the panel's makeup with the White House.
