Global Warming Victory: Now the Next Step
May 29, 2009

For nearly a week, the House Energy and Commerce Committee debated the bill that would cap U.S. greenhouse gas emissions. It was tense time, but our efforts paid off and the committee released the bill to the full House.
This is a landmark bill. It would establish an aggressive cap on America's global warming pollution starting at 17% reductions by 2020 and reaching 83% reductions by 2050. It also calls for 20% of America's energy to come from clean, renewable energy sources by 2020.

This is a moment decades in the making, and global warming's apologists are escalating their fight against meaningful climate change legislation.
A new report from the Center for Responsive Politics revealed that in the first three months of 2009, apologists spent $80 million on direct lobbying alone. And to add insult to injury, many of the hired guns working to defeat climate legislation are the same top Bush Administration officials who worked to block action over the last eight years.

Congress is in recess this week, but we can't let up the pressure. Help us fill their in-boxes with messages to counteract the forces of Big Oil and their allies in Congress. Act today to help pass a strong climate change bill. »
