Feb 2013 - Sanders, Boxer Outline 'Gold Standard' Climate Bill
FEBRUARY 14, 2013
Senators Bernie Sanders and Barbara Boxer announced comprehensive climate change legislation Thursday morning at a news conference on Capitol Hill that aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions 80 percent by 2050. It’s an ambitious bill that doesn’t settle for half-measures, but rather lays out an actual solution to the climate crisis.
“This is a gold-standard bill,” Boxer said. “Every once in a while we have them.”
