Representative Henry Waxman, known to some of his friends as The Mole (see above), assured us yesterday that he will address climate change in legislation before May.
Meanwhile, Chicago has the largest snowfall since 1884 and subfreezing temperatures are breaking records everywhere.
Maine residents braced for nighttime readings down to 40 below zero. And in the Midwest, Iowans were warned that temperatures could drop as far as 27 below zero during the night, matching a Jan. 15 record set in 1972.
Temperatures Thursday were expected to range from 10 below zero in the far north to the low teens in southern coastal areas.
Farther south, morning temperatures were in the 20s from Texas to Georgia, and along the Gulf Coast the weather service reported a low of just 28 at Mobile, Ala.
Even northern Georgia and Kentucky could see single-digit lows by Friday, with zero possible at Lexington, Ky., the weather service warned. Kentucky hasn’t been that cold since December 2004.
There is an old rule: when Congress gets around to fixing a problem, it is over already.

…or it never existed in the first place.
The debate is over, Dr. K.!
