Another sign of increasing congressional interest in climate change: Chairman Joe Biden and Ranking Member Dick Lugar of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee have announced that international climate change treaties and negotiations would be a major focus of the committee's activities for the rest of the year.

Biden and Lugar also asked their panel's 19 senators and staff to attend United Nations-led climate talks over the course of the next two years. And they directed committee staff to produce a report before the end of the current session of Congress on the "various issues confronting the United States in addressing international climate change."

At this point, it sounds like everyone in the Senate is working on climate change from some angle, while the President still doesn't seem to get it.  As Biden is quoted saying in the article, "'This administration basically punted…It's going to be a hell of a job for the next president.'"
