WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Senate Environment and Public Works Committee on Thursday approved a Democratic climate change bill that would require industry to cut emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases 20 percent by 2020 from 2005 levels.
With Republicans boycotting the committee's work saying more analysis of the legislation was needed, 10 Democrats voted to approve the legislation and one Democrat, Senator Max Baucus, voted against it.
The bill will now become one of several initiatives aimed at attacking global warming. Senator John Kerry is leading an effort with some Republicans and the White House to craft a compromise bill, which likely would not be voted on by the full Senate until next year at the earliest.

This scares me as much or more than the “health care” BS bill......they sense the danger and are in full gear now!! How do we stop this?
Gotta hurry up and rush this crap through before the Dems are booted out of control of Congress in ‘10.
Not to mention, they have to hurry up to be sure Algore is the first green billionaire.
Fixed.
There is no doubt at all, that this is the worst Congress in the history of the nation.
Lets throw money away!!!!
Just heard Sen. Inhofe on FNC declaring victory - “This bill is dead”.....
WTF, indeed....
EVIL!

They don’t need to follow no stinkin’ laws.
There are so many disgusting Democrats............

Hopefully the Repubs will grow a pair and challenge it.
” People who run for office saying they are going to do something about the weather should be institutionalized. “
People who are in office actually *trying* to do something about the weather should be incarcerated...
It’s the people who voted for ‘em that should be institutionalized.... ;)
John Kerry is leading a compromise effort? ....the same Kerry that has tried to eradicate the CRS report on Honduras from the Library of Congress!
In the VietNam era, I saw Kerry as a traitor to his country and his fellow servicemen. His stance on abortion convinced me that he is a traitor to his *stated* religion. My opinion stands.....and has increased.
I do NOT trust anything Kerry does.
Looks like Obama and his lack of publishing a National Security Strategy for the US.
Was, by law, supposed to be published by July, 2009.
Still no NSS. The US Military is rudderless.
But, it’s all about hope and change.
The Chicoms, Russians and other America haters across the globe are laughing their asses off at the dilletantish politically-correct, “green” fools that we have become over the past twenty years.
“grow a pair?” don’t hold your breath....
how long do we have to put up with this crap?
Can anyone spell r-e-v-o-l-u-t-i-o-n?
