Press Release, Oct '07: BAUCUS TAKES BOLD STANCE ON GLOBAL WARMING

During an EPW subcommittee hearing on the bill today, Baucus said America must aggressively combat climate change.

“We cannot be good stewards if we ignore the fact that climate change threatens to result in longer droughts, more severe wildfire seasons, and no glaciers in Glacier National Park,” Baucus during the panel hearing. “I believe it is a moral imperative to deal with climate change. That is why I intend to support America’s Climate Security Act.”

For months Baucus has been quietly working with the bill’s sponsors -- Sens. Joe Lieberman (I – Conn.) and John Warner (R-Va.) on the legislation.
