    • Samantha said: As they watch President Obama's ambitious health care plan crumble, the advocates of a comprehensive bill to combat global warming are turning their sights to a more modest package of climate and energy measures that they believe has a better change of clearing Congress this year.

    • Quote: Rep. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) slammed Democratic climate-change legislation Saturday just as President Barack Obama prepares to trek to an international conference in Copehnagen. In the weekly Republican address, Blackburn said the Copenhagen summit could result in emissions mandates that "would destroy millions of American jobs and damage our economic competitiveness for decades to come."

    • Quote: Monday's announcement was most encouraging for two reasons. First, it lends plausibility to the preliminary emissions-reduction commitment that President Obama announced before the Copenhagen climate conference, a figure that the Senate has not endorsed. Second, it pressures lawmakers to offer a better alternative to EPA regulation alone. In part because the GOP has not embraced a sensible, market-based approach, the House passed a huge and flawed climate bill over the summer. The Senate is lost in the health-care debate, its members don't seem particularly eager to take up climate change when health care is done, and its version of the legislation isn't shaping up to be much better than the House's. The threat of the EPA regulating in Congress's stead should persuade lawmakers to look at climate-change afresh.

    • Samantha said: This week, the world will be watching America’s participation in the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen. As our nation works to reduce climate-altering emissions and plans for a low-carbon energy future, many Americans may be surprised to learn that a key piece of the puzzle — a clean, reliable and readily available energy source — is right here under our feet: natural gas.

    • Quote: Mark Kirk is one of a growing group of Republican candidates flip-flopping away from cap and trade as they stare down more-conservative primary challengers. Republicans who once flouted their green bona fides are tacking right, to the point of questioning the science behind global warming, believing it's politically toxic within the conservative base to favor anything Democrats want to do about the climate.
