claim: During a state House debate on a jobs and energy bill this week, Democrats offered an amendment that would put the Legislature on record saying that climate change is real and that humans are causing it.
evidence: In January 2015, the Republican-led U.S. Senate voted 98–1 to pass a resolution acknowledging that climate change is real and is not a hoax; however, an amendment stating that human activity significantly contributes to climate change was supported by only five Republican senators.
