Understanding the economic impacts of the Lieberman- Warner Climate Security Act1 (L/W bill) can help guide choices on climate change policy.2 In this study, the L/W bill was analyzed under low and high cost cases with respect to a baseline that projects the future in the absence of the bill.

Despite 31,000 scientists debunking the idea that you and I are responsible for climate change on the planet, congress is going forward with enactment of laws that will have disastrous effects on our economy and way of life. Members of Congress are considering several bills designed to combat climate change. Chief among them is Senate bill 2191--America's Cli­mate Security Act of 2007--introduced by Joseph Lieberman (I-CT) and John Warner (R-VA). This bill would set a limit on the emissions of green­house gases, mainly carbon dioxide from the com­bustion of coal, oil, and natural gas.

The ACCF/NAM study on Virginia Economic Impact on the State from the Lieberman-Warner Proposed Legislation to Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions

Understanding the economic impacts of the Lieberman- Warner Climate Security Act1 (L/W bill) can help guide choices on climate change policy(2) In this study, the L/W bill was analyzed under low and high cost cases with respect to a baseline that projects the future in the absence of the bill. The L/W bill would enforce a nationwide cap and trade program for the emissions of greenhouse gases (GHGs) and would reduce GHG emissions covered by the bill to 4,992 Million Metric Tons of CO2 (MMTCO2) by 2020 and 3,856 MMTCO2 by 2030.

On March 13, 2008, NAM and ACCF unveiled a new study highlighting the National and 50-State Economic Impacts of the Lieberman-Warner Climate Change Bill.  The SAIC Study assesses economic implications on future energy costs, economic growth, employment, production, household income and low income earners.  These costs are detailed in their report, and need to be examined in the public arena along with the scientific proofs on climate change, and how climate change is effected by natural solar and ocean cycles and man. This bill is coming up for debate in Congress in June, and it is critical for the American Citizen to be made aware of the huge costs this legislation would have on EVERYDAY life of not only you and I, but our children, and their children.
