Support Strong Global Warming Legislation

Debate over the first serious climate change bill to reach the Senate floor -- the Climate Security Act -- was derailed by the Republican leadership last week when the Senate was unable to defeat a filibuster led by Minority Leader McConnell and Senators Allard (CO), Inhofe (OK), and Cornyn (TX). However, this vote (48 to 36) showed progress in the effort to get the Congress to take decisive action to reduce carbon emissions. 48 Senators voted in favor of moving forward with the legislation. The debate is no longer about whether global warming is occurring, but who will pay and who will benefit from the proposed solutions. A strong global warming bill must drive emissions reductions in a way that strengthens a clean energy economy, meets science-based standards and is fair to American families and workers.
