Washington, D.C. ? Leading a bipartisan delegation of 10 colleagues to Greenland, Sen. Barbara Boxer said Saturday she saw first-hand the effects of global warming and received a plea from the country’s officials to do something to change it.

“I think everyone who has seen this is changed,” Boxer, D-Calif., said in a telephone interview from Kangerlussuaq, Greenland.

Boxer said she decided to organize this weekend trip to Greenland so she and other senators could better understand the information they have received from sources such as scientists, reports and former Vice President Al Gore’s movie.

Boxer has made getting a global warming bill to the Senate floor her top priority as chairwoman of the Environment and Public Works Committee.
