United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Chairman R.K. Pachauri presented testimony today before the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee at a hearing entitled, “Update on the Latest Global Warming Science.” Committee Chairwoman Barbara Boxer and Ranking Minority committee member James Inhofe went after each other on the science of climate change and global warming. Chairwoman Boxer also went after Princeton Physics Professor William Happer for supporting Inhofe's anti global warming view by stating that a unit related to him had received $1 million in grants from ExxonMobil over the past 10 years. Senator Inhofe slammed the science of the other three witnesses.
