This hearing will re-start the disucssion of climate change in the House, which has taken no action on the issue for months. Most action to date has been focued in the Senate, whose Enviroment and Public Works Committee approved the Lieberman-Warner bill, S. 2191, the America's Climate Security Act in late December. A Senate floor vote on the Lieberman-Warner cap and trade bill is expected early in 2008.
