Fox and foreign press find fault but climate bill is progress
This week’s Media Mayhem column from the Mother Nature network.
I was so proud of the House of Representatives for its recent passage of legislation to tackle climate change. Finally.

But at least it’s a start. At least, I reckoned, the United States finally is in the game. And, now, American ingenuity will take over. Wind farms. Solar. Energy-efficient light bulbs! Watch out, world! We’re gonna solve this problem!
Then, I started reading the foreign press.
