Senate panel approves Democratic climate bill
By Richard Cowan
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A key U.S. Senate environment committee
approved a Democratic climate change bill on Thursday that would
require industry to cut emissions of carbon dioxide and other
greenhouse gases 20 percent by 2020 from 2005 levels.
The bill approved by the Environment and Public Works Committee will
now become one of several initiatives in the Senate aimed at attacking
global warming. But they are unlikely to produce legislation that would
be voted on by the full Senate until next year at the earliest.
