Gore at the right time
America's climate guru issues statement of support for America's Climate Security Act
Posted by Kate Sheppard at 4:14 PM on 02 Jun 2008
Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) is pretty jazzed about this statement of support for the Lieberman-Warner Climate Security Act that Al Gore released today:
I want to commend Senator Boxer for her leadership of the Environment and Public Works Committee. Thanks to her vision and dedication, we have the first global warming bill in history that is comprehensive, bipartisan and that enjoys support across the country -- from labor and agriculture to the business and the environmental communities. Of course the bill needs to be stronger, but it's vital that Congress begin to act. While it's important that people change their light bulbs, it's even more important that we change the laws.
Of course, Gore notes that the bill "needs to be stronger" -- which Boxer herself says, too. But his support is big news for the bill's sponsors.
