Federal Climate Legislation: Will the U.S. Senate pass a climate bill this summer?

Many scientists believe we’re heading for a climate crisis of a magnitude unprecedented in human history. Mike Sandler, Co-Founder of the Climate Protection Campaign, will discuss the various proposals for Federal climate legislation, including the Waxman bill, the CLEAR Act, the Kerry-Lieberman bill, and the Hansen proposal. He’ll also talk about their possible impact on California’s climate law.

Mike has worked with cities, water agencies, and air districts to quantify and reduce their greenhouse gas emissions since 2001. He manages a website on carbon pricing and equity at www.carbonshare.org and has degrees in Political Economy and Urban Planning.
