US Senate Democrats made the opening move in their effort to portray Republicans as out of step with mainstream Americans on the question of whether humans cause climate change.
Democrats maneuvered a vote on an amendment Wednesday that would designate climate change as a man-made event. Although the amendment was defeated, Republicans were forced to take a stand on the issue before the 2016 campaign begins.
The vote was intended to help determine "who the climate- change deniers in the US Senate really are," third-ranking Democrat Charles Schumer of New York said a day before the vote. "Do they deny that human activity has helped create climate change? Stay tuned -- we'll see."
The Senate, by a 50-49 vote with 60 required, rejected the amendment to a Republican bill approving TransCanada's Keystone XL oil pipeline. Republicans control the Senate 54-46.

The amendment, offered by Brian Schatz, a Democrat senator from Hawaii, would have deemed that "climate change is real" and that "human activity significantly contributes" to it.
South Dakota Senator John Thune, the chamber's third- ranking Republican, said the proposal had political undertones.
"Obviously, it's a very politically motivated vote," he said. "They would love to get a bunch of Republicans voting against those amendments."
Five Republicans voted in favor of Schatz's amendment -- Lamar Alexander of Tennessee, Kelly Ayotte of New Hampshire, Susan Collins of Maine, Lindsey Graham of South Carolina and Mark Kirk of Illinois. No Democrats voted against it.
