Politico reports "Climate change on the back burner?"
Climate change has slipped so far down on the agenda that at least one key committee chairman has suggested it might have to wait until after the 2010 elections.
A number of factors are conspiring against the Senate version of the bill: a Republican boycott on the Environment and Public Works Committee, a new EPA analysis that could take at least five weeks and wide-ranging disagreements among six competing Senate committee leaders who have jurisdiction.
"Some people are talking about not doing it until after the 2010 election," Commerce Committee Chairman John Rockefeller (D-W.Va.) said Tuesday.
