Climate Disconnect

Thought you might be interested in this:

On July 9, 2013, Rep. Henry A. Waxman released a report comparing the impacts of climate change in members’ districts with members’ voting records. The report found a widespread “climate disconnect” in the voting records of the Republican members representing the districts most affected by the soaring temperatures in 2012. They cast anti-climate votes 96% of the time. No similar “climate disconnect” was found in the voting records of House Democrats. The report is available here.

HERE is an interactive map that provides record temperature information for each congressional district in the country and the climate voting record of the member representing the district.
