New bill to fight global warming by Megan Luecke, Mar 14, 2008 (8:27pm)

This bill would amend the Global Change Research Act of 1990; the National Climate Program Act; the National Science and Technology Policy, Organization, and Priorities Act of 1976; and National Institute of Standards and Technology Act to better research the impact of climate change. Specifically, the bill would assign federal organizations to research topics such as ice sheet melt and movement, rising sea levels, greenhouse gas emissions, and tropical cyclones. In contrast to the policy of previous years, the bill would greatly increase funding for climate change research and would strictly require the research agencies to make regular assessments of their discoveries. Although funding for the bill would total over half a billion dollars from 2008 to 2013, it is a small cost to pay for finding insights into how to stop climate change.
