Pelosi Vows Passage of Health-Care Overhaul - washingtonpost.com
The climate-change win was initially cast as a major Pelosi victory, because of her investment in securing the necessary votes.

Now, however, a significant bloc of Democrats is balking at moving to the health-care debate so soon after a vote that many freshman and sophomore lawmakers consider the most controversial they have cast. Some even fear that the climate-change vote has put health-care reform, a far greater priority for many Democrats, in grave danger.

"I don't know whose decision it was to put cap-and-trade first, but it was a huge mistake," said  Rep. Mike Ross (D-Ark.), a conservative leader on the Energy and Commerce Committee. "It's a divisive issue. I felt like we had the opportunity to do one thing before the August recess . . . and everybody agrees we need to reform health care."
Lugar Signals Danger on Climate Change [Scam] Bill
Lugar questions whether the House bill’s mandatory pollution “caps” and emission credit trading, will even have its intended effect, “I’m not convinced that the impact on CO2, or greenhouse gasses, is very substantial, even over the long-run, in part, because so many compromises had to be made, to draw one person after another across the line.”
...
Lugar flatly rejected, however, suggestions by some, that if congress fails to act, the EPA will regulate greenhouse gases, “I believe I could get a majority of Senators to eliminate EPA out of this picture.”

[John] Warner also called for quick international action to cut CO2 emissions and warned of global instability from climate change—droughts, sea-level rise, storms, pestilence, agricultural shifts, and resulting “water wars, crop failures, famine, disease, mass migration, and destruction of vital infrastructure.”
