Washington Post (May 19)
In America, climate change legislation took a backseat to health care reform and financial regulation. The Post says that Senators John Kerry and Joseph Lieberman “have provided Congress with an opportunity.” The Post calls their climate bill “imperfect,” but a good start “in the right direction” and urges legislators to seize this opportunity. Waiting to pass a climate bill will simply make global warming more difficult (and expensive) to address.
