Democrats are scrambling to secure a deal to mitigate climate change as their window for an agreement is rapidly closing.
Key lawmakers say they’re still working to sell Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) on a slate of clean energy tax credits and a fee on methane emissions.
And the stakes are particularly high amid high fuel prices, a Supreme Court ruling that curbed the Environmental Protection Agency’s climate powers and the growing threat of climate change itself.
For months, lawmakers have been negotiating a package that would seek to limit climate-warming emissions, lower prescription drug costs and raise taxes on high-income individuals.
But with the August recess looming, lawmakers are seeing their time run short.
Senate Environment and Public Works Committee Chairman Tom Carper (D-Del.) told reporters on Tuesday that he is still working with Manchin on a program aimed at cutting methane emissions from the oil and gas sector.
He said that the two sides had reached a “pretty good agreement” a few months ago, and added, “We’re looking at it now, tweaking it a little bit.”
Methane is a potent source of planet-warming emissions, with 25 times the impacts of carbon dioxide over a 100-year period. It’s also the main component of natural gas, which is used in electricity generation and home heating.

They teach the kids they only have 8 years left to live, and then wonder why some of these young people shoot up schools.
Did someome change the clock? I thought we have 7-something years left.
Sounds like you get an extra year. Lucky you.
F CAGW
There is NO Science there.
No way we have 8 years left due climate change. We will be lucky to survive the next two years of lunatic, self destructive climate political shenanigans.
It’s all about 2030 acheiving “goals” by 2030.
It’s all about 2030 acheiving “goals” by 2030.
That’s short sighted.
We need to eleminate 90% of the population.
We have less than 8 years left ..if the leftards have anything to do with a solution to “save” the planet.
Since everything they do backfires or makes things worth.
And since their logic is warped.. they can’t understand.. or admit to biology..and since they can’t even maintain a. City like San Francisco..we are supposed to believe they can control the earth environment?
No thanks.
Every time I see their countdown, I cannot help but wonder what happens when they reach 7 years.
We all know what the Bible says regarding 7 years. So does Satan. While no exact timeline is known to mankind, you cannot help but ponder their short timeline to hell.
Really it is a timeline to hell on earth.
Food insecurity
Plagues and Pandemics
War
Energy
Mass population culling
Glad I know how it all turns out in the very end.
The Hill lies a lot. The story about methane as a GHG is a small piece of the facts totally distorted. In the natural atmosphere as opposed to a controlled laboratory setting, methane is totally swamped by water vapor and has no net greenhouse effect. The writers probably don’t even know this, but the corrupt “researchers” they trust know it full well.
The solution to eliminating the alleged climate change problem is simple.
Eliminate the Democrats. People of the left wing are the sole problem
Democrats are superfluous humanity
Bonus for me :)
