Senator John Warner (R-VA) dropped a bombshell this afternoon, announcing he would try to bump Senator James Inhofe (R-OK) from his perch as the top Republican on the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works. Inhofe vows to fight to retain his post.
The panel's new chair, Senator Barbara Boxer (D-CA), has promised hearings on global warming starting in January. Inhofe is infamous for declaring global warming a hoax. Warner has seemed open to some sort of plan to limit global warming pollutants, though he has not backed a specific legislative plan.
