A recent article in E&E news features a discussion at the Center for National Policy with Senator Christopher Murphy's (D-Conn) on short lived climate pollutants .
Carbon dioxide emission limits may be a heavy lift domestically and internationally right now, but the United States can still make quick progress on climate change if it focuses on non-CO2 greenhouse gases, Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) said yesterday.
Speaking at a forum hosted by the Center for National Policy, Murphy noted that Congress is unlikely to approve a bill anytime soon to combat the carbon emissions that are the largest long-term drivers of global warming.
“Within the Beltway, this issue of climate change has become synonymous with partisan gridlock,” said Murphy, who as a House member in 2009 voted for a cap-and-trade bill that cleared the chamber only to die in the Senate.
