WASHINGTON – “The introduction of the Lieberman-Warner
legislation is an important step in the effort to stop global
warming. Introduced with broad support, the bill signals that a
majority of the Senate finally supports deep and mandatory
reductions in global warming pollution. Regrettably, however, this
proposal still falls far short of what scientists say is needed to
adequately address this crisis.
“The truest test of a legislative proposal on global warming is
whether or not policy makers will be able to look their children
and grandchildren in the eye and say they did what was necessary to
truly solve the problem. This legislation won’t meet that
test.”
