From the Detroit News, at

"Detroit, Mich. - Michigan just experienced its coldest July on record;
global temperatures haven't risen in more than a decade; Great Lakes water
levels have resumed their 30-year cyclical rise (contrary to a decade of
media scare stories that they were drying up due to global warming), and
polls show that climate change doesn't even make a list of Michigan voters'
top-ten concerns.

"Yet in an interview with the Detroit News Monday, Senator Debbie Stabenow
(D., Mich.) - recently appointed to the Senate Energy Committee - made clear
that fighting the climate crisis is her top priority.

"'Climate change is very real,' she confessed as she embraced cap and
trade's massive tax increase on Michigan industry - at the same time
claiming, against all the evidence, that it would not lead to an increase in
manufacturing costs or energy prices. 'Global warming creates volatility. I
feel it when I'm flying. The storms are more volatile. We are paying the
price in more hurricanes and tornadoes.'

"And there are sea monsters in Lake Michigan. I can feel them when I'm
boating."
