(Bloomberg) — Senator Sheldon Whitehouse is imploring his colleagues to "wake up" and start addressing climate change.
The Rhode Island Democrat in April 2012 began one of the longest-running regular speaking spots in the legislature’s history. The biggest change since he began making climate floor speeches, he said recently in his Senate office, came after he realized he needed to dwell less on the facts of climate science and more on “calling out the fossil fuels [industry’s] massive climate denial operation.”
