Talk:Climate Stewardship Acts

Untitled
Is this related to the Kyoto Protocol? And how was it killed? (I thought the full Senate voted on it.)


 * The revised version of the bill would require the Administrator of the EPA to promulgate regulations to limit the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from the electricity generation, transportation, industrial, and commercial economic sectors (as defined by EPA's Inventory of U.S. Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Sinks). The affected sectors accounted for approximately 85% of the overall U.S. emissions in the year 2000. The bill also would provide for the trading of emissions allowances and reductions through a National Greenhouse Gas Database which would contain an inventory of emissions and registry of reductions.
 * Target: The bill would cap the 2010 aggregate emissions level for the covered sectors at the 2000 level.


 * On October 30, 2003, Senators Joseph I. Lieberman (D-CT) and John McCain (R-AZ) brought a revised version of their Climate Stewardship Act of 2003 (S.139) to a vote in the United States Senate. ... the measure failed by a vote of 43 to 55

Potential shared name confusion
