Climate Change Weekly Policy Update

In this week’s climate change headline news was the Advanced Notice of Proposed Rulemaking set forth by the Bush Administration. In summary, the document stated that the current Administration will not move forward with the development of CO2 regulations and also that Congress should devise a better approach to replace the Clean Air Act in addressing the issue of carbon emissions. Also in the news was the meeting of the G8 in Japan, which resulted in the proposal of a collective goal to reduce GHG emissions by 50% by 2050. Also, Senator Jeff Bingaman (D-NM) outlined 10 principles for future climate change legislation.
