The recently introduced Climate Security Act changes the dynamics of America’s role in worldwide global warming negotiations. Our National Climate Campaign Director Steve Cochran filled us in on the breaking news on the bill, which is in Congressional hearings right now. The bill, introduced by Senators Lieberman (ID-CT) and Warner (R-VA), is designed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions nationwide by 18% by 2020, using the cap-and-trade market mechanisms we have been advocating.

Fred Krupp led the discussion on how these latest developments in Washington fit into Environmental Defense plans for the upcoming Bali meeting on the next international global warming agreement (post-2012 when the Kyoto Protocol expires.) International Counsel Annie Petsonk and International Program Co-Director Steve Schwartzman shared those strategies and responded to questions from the audience.
