It does look like England's Brown is far mor engaged than our Brown and his bos were. This really does highlight what the potential problems could be as global warming intensives.
The CSPAN coverage of the Kerry/Feingold amendment to Boxer's water resources bill that would have required all future "water" construction projects to consider the requirements of global warming. All our dams, bridges, etc are all built to withstand 100 year floods - that won't be enough. The amendment fell short of getting 60 votes - so it is close - and could be reintroduced.
The SFRC held a hearing on how these problems will become national security problems - especially in Delta areas. At that hearing, even the Republicans conceded the ramifications of global change.
