Lieberman, McCain Reintroduce Climate Stewardship and Innovation Act
Bill Improvements, Mounting Warming Impacts Attract Co-Sponsors to Bipartisan Measure
WASHINGTON – Senator Joe Lieberman (ID-CT) reintroduced the Climate Stewardship and Innovation Act (S. 280) today with his longstanding ally, Senator John McCain (R-AZ). Co-sponsoring the bill are Senators Barack Obama (D-IL) and Olympia Snowe (R-ME), who had co-sponsored the 2005 version of the bill, and Senators Blanche Lincoln (D-AR) and Susan Collins (R-ME). The most bipartisan of the Senate proposals to reduce greenhouse gas emissions across all major sectors of the US economy, the new bill quickly won endorsements from the National Wildlife Federation, Environmental Defense, and the Pew Center on Global Climate Change.

The Bill's History
First introduced into the Senate in 2003, the Climate Stewardship Act was voted on in October of the same year, receiving surprisingly strong support from senators on both sides of the aisle. Though it didn't pass, the 43-to-55 vote demonstrates that our country is within reach of passing legislation that would protect the Earth's climate without risking economic setbacks.
