SUPPORT THE MCCAIN-LIEBERMAN CLIMATE STEWARDSHIP ACT!!!!
The U.S. accounts for less than 5% of the world’s population, yet produces roughly 25% of global warming pollution!
Global warming is the most profound environmental challenge of our time. The climate debate is no longer about whether the problem is real, but about how to solve it.
As Americans we cannot shy away from our responsibility to do everything we can to help. Especially because the United States accounts for less than 5% of the world’s population, yet produces roughly 25% of global warming pollution!In Washington, members of Congress are starting to talk seriously about what to do in ways we haven't seen before -- the buzz on the streets is echoing loudly in the halls of Congress.
In October 2003, the U.S. Senate voted on the McCain-Lieberman Climate Stewardship Act, which calls for a national policy to cut heat-trapping gases. Although the Senate rejected the bill, the 43-55 vote marked a seismic political change on the critical issue of global warming. While it's encouraging that many Congressional leaders are starting to take global warming more seriously, the challenge now is to make sure that when Congress takes action on Global Warming it takes meaningful action.
The McCain-Lieberman Climate Stewardship Act is the only legislation ever introduced that offers meaningful action by combining national pollution limits with pollution credits. It would set a firm limit on heat-trapping pollution, then use market incentives to lower costs, promote efficiency and spur innovation. The bill is expected to be re-introduced in the Senate this session and we don't want to miss this opportunity to act.
