Energy and Environment Daily recently published the viewpoints of House Majority Whip Roy Blunt (R-MO) on global climate change. If he remains in power after the November elections, there will be no action on global warming for the entire 110th Congress (January 2007 to January 2009)! Here is a quick snippet:
Continued Republican House and Senate majorities would likely mean more of the same on climate. House Majority Whip Roy Blunt (R-Mo.) said he would oppose global warming mandates if Republicans control the 110th Congress. “I think the information is not adequate yet for us to do anything meaningful,” he said.
Fortunately, some (61 co-sponsors) of the House of Representatives members plan to say "yea" for the
Safe Climate Act and are less ignorant of the corroboration within the scientific community regarding global warming (i.e.
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change or
Royal Society). I view this act as a positive step towards sustainable development.
This link, via
Grist Magazine, is a great example of how incremental policies--like the Safe Climate Act--can promote sustainable development.
