Former Vice President Al Gore returns to Capitol Hill Wednesday to testify before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
Sen. John Kerry, who chairs the committee, had kind words for his fellow former Democratic presidential nominee: "Al Gore has been sounding the alarm on climate change for over three decades, and he understands the urgent need for American engagement and leadership on this issue."
Among the books not likely to be discussed at the hearing: "Climate of Extremes: Global Warming Science They Don't Want You to Know," written by the recently ousted Virginia state climatologist and longtime global-warming skeptic Patrick J. Michaels and published by the Libertarian think tank the Cato Institute
Meanwhile, like clockwork, a winter storm descends on Washington, DC:
No word yet on whether the wintry weather will lead to cancellation of Gore's testimony.
