US senators urge ambitious climate deal

Anything to kill the economy.....

The senators, led by Democrat John Kerry of Massachusetts, said that the impact of climate change was "occurring more quickly than previously predicted" and pointed to this year's drought believed to have killed thousands on the Horn of Africa.

"We are committed to doing our part to transition to a clean energy economy that decreases carbon pollution, creates jobs and builds resilience in vulnerable communities both at home and abroad," the senators wrote in a letter to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
