Climate Vote 2007
The US Climate Action Partnership (US-CAP) ran its first newspaper ad [PDF] last week in the widely read Capitol Hill newspapers Roll Call and the Politico. The ad urges Congress to “take prompt action” to reduce America’s global warming pollution and recommends a “cap-and-trade program that achieves emission reductions at the lowest possible cost.”
The ad is a clear signal that the partnership of 27 major corporations and 6 leading environmental organizations is eager to assert itself in the political debate and to push the global warming solutions agenda forward.
