Historic Vote on Global Warming Bill Reflects Building Momentum to Limit Carbon Dioxide source: World Wildlife Fund | Nov 06, 03 | submitted by Ryan

Washington DC - WASHINGTON ? "Today's strong bi-partisan vote shatters the myth that the US Senate will never seriously consider action to address the environmental problem of global warming.

"This is remarkable support for the first-ever vote on limiting global warming pollution. Today's votes in support of the McCain-Lieberman bill were votes to protect American communities and the wild places we love from the impacts of global warming. Senator McCain (R-AZ) vowed to keep bringing the issue back before the US Senate until it takes a responsible approach to global warming, reflecting the tenacity he's demonstrated on important issues in the past. More needs to be done to implement solutions and World Wildlife Fund will continue to work towards this goal, but this bill represented a long-awaited step in the right direction.

Nov 06 That's so great! I was losing hope that the Senate would do anything worthwhile until it was too late.

Nov 07 Yeah. It seems lately that global warming is a term you hear at least once a day. I guess, sooner or later everybody can't help but become informed of what it is, what's causing it, and what must be done.
