Climate Control Embarrassment

E-mail to Congress:

EIN News says, "Sen. Boxer Says Obama Admin Could Make Climate Pledge in Copenhagen. Even if a U.S. climate change and energy bill is not ready before December's international climate talks, the Obama administration should be able to adopt firm greenhouse gas reduction targets there, the chairwoman of the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee said on Monday. Speaking to reporters following her meeting with UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) said the absence of signed legislation should not be construed by other countries as evidence that the United States is not moving forward on the problem. (nytimes.com)".

Please keep your eye on this one! It is the epitome of political trickery!

Barbara Boxer would have the Administration go to the Copenhagen Conference with a clear-cut endorsement of UN climate change regulations, including carbon dioxide control. This would be done without Congressional approval, but Congress would then be faced with the supposed problem of embarrassing the Administration and the United States by reneging on US promises.

I strongly suggest Congress inform the Administration that Congress now has no intention to endorse a climate control bill with limitations on carbon dioxide emissions and that if the Administration claims the contrary at Copenhagen, it will be the Administration and Obama personally, who will be embarrassed, not the Congress.
