About the Climate
Stewardship Act:
Protecting our climate is a religious
duty because it embraces everything and everyone on Earth. The Climate
Stewardship Act calls for domestic, mandatory, and economy-wide reductions
in emissions of heat-trapping gases to 2000 levels by the year 2010. This
historic bill creates a market-based system of tradable allowances to
achieve this reduction and takes the first steps toward limiting
heat-trapping gas emissions that are contributing to global warming. The
Climate Stewardship Act helps us work towards justice for all of God's
creation including future generations.
