Bills directly addressing climate change issues range from those focused primarily on climate change research (H.R. 1578 and S. 1164) to comprehensive emissions cap and trading programs for all six greenhouse gases (S. 139 and H.R. 4067). This report briefly discusses basic concepts on which these bills are based, and compares major provisions of the bills in each of the following categories: climate change research, GHG reporting and registries, and cap and trade programs.</p>Climate Change Legislation in the 109th Congress2005-10-18T14:28:14-05:00https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metacrs7450/<p><a href="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metacrs7450/"><img alt="Climate Change Legislation in the 109th Congress" title="Climate Change Legislation in the 109th Congress" src="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metacrs7450/small/"/></a></p><p>Climate change and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are a continuing issue in the 109th Congress. Bills directly addressing climate change issues range from those focused primarily on climate change research to comprehensive emissions cap-and-trade programs. Additional bills focus on GHG reporting and registries, or on power plant emissions of carbon dioxide, as part of wider controls on pollutant emissions. The bills vary in their approaches to climate change issues. This report briefly discusses the basic concepts on which these bills are based and compares major provisions of the bills in each of the following categories: climate change research, technology deployment, GHG reporting and registries, and emissions reduction programs.</p>
