WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Barack Obama's push for quick action by Congress on climate change legislation suffered a setback on Thursday when the U.S. Senate committee leading the drive delayed work on the bill until September.
Senate Environment and Public Works Committee Chairman Barbara Boxer said her self-imposed deadline of early August for finishing writing a bill to combat global warming has been put off until after Congress returns from a recess that ends in early September.

Will MoveOn start attacking Babs?
I am wondering whether this has something to do with the 48% approval she has, or she does not want this passed before she has to go home to California and defend higher taxes during the August recess.
Or maybe the ruling class needs to take yet another vacation
Thank Goodness...
Keep an eye on all the other bills, this looks like a short breather.
Don't want the peasants to ruin her vacation. Oh and it's SENATOR Boxer to you...I think she's earned that title.
The polling shows American’s want no part of this fairy tale BS, that’s why. Look for more and more MSM stories about the devastation caused by global warming. The international socialists (including the democrat party) will coordinate the phony press.
But it won’t work if every conservative GOPer and thinking patriot continues to expose this crock ‘o shiite.
They need a break to fly all over the states and the world in their co2 emission machines otherwise known as jet aircraft.
So they can find out more about global warming, foreign oil usage and the deficit/debt.
Oh and it’s SENATOR Boxer to you...I think she’s earned that title.
She certainly didn’t earn the title of ma’am - that title demands respect.
How in the world does that idiot have a 48% approval rating?
Sorry, but “Hussein’s Energy Tax” is heartless.
So true!
Every day this thing is delayed, it loses support (not that it really had any to begin with, beyond the environmentalist socialist elite)
California Public Schools.
Can’t have an informed public if you want to be a Senator from California!!
They now have to go home and listen to people tell them how badly they hate this and how bad for the economy it is!
Maybe these idiot fools in Congress will read the d*** bill. But, I doubt they'd take time away from their vacation to read 1,500 pages of pure Socialist crap that is guaranteed to utterly destroy the economy, kill millions of jobs and be the largest tax increase in history. No big deal!...
Brain-dead Babs "Don't Call Me Ma'am" Boxer hs 48% approval? On what planet?
Brain-dead Babs "Don't Call Me Ma'am" Boxer has 48% approval? On what planet? And that constituency she has to go home to this summer is already facing higher taxes, higher costs, and a rapidly diminishing employer and taxpayer base due to the spend-spend-and-spend-more California legislature. Good luck, Ms Boxer Ma'am.
This will need our help and every Republican senator we can lean on. Stay tuned...
They’re only doing this so that they can do it under reconciliation with just 50 votes.
We’re doomed.
