Senators Joe Lieberman and John Warner today announced that together they will draft comprehensive climate legislation and bring it before the Subcommittee on Private Sector and Consumer Solutions to Global Warming and Wildlife Protection before the August congressional recess. The bill would then come before the full Environment & Public Works Committee, which Boxer chairs. She said she hopes to have her committee approve the bill before the end of the year.
“Barbara Boxer’s commitment to getting a bipartisan bill through her committee makes all the difference in forging a consensus solution to the climate problem in this Congress,” said Steve Cochran, national climate campaign director at Environmental Defense.
