When I became Chairman of the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works, one of my priorities was to work with my Senate colleagues to bring national attention and public policy change to global warming.  

We have held hearings, viewed for ourselves the dramatic and rapid changes brought about by global warming in Greenland, and worked to craft legislation on global warming that will have the support to become law.  And our work is paying off.  I am pleased to provide my recent statement on legislation by Senators Joe Lieberman and John Warner.  You can view my statement by using the link on the right or clicking here.

This legislation represents the first important step in combating global warming and will provide a framework for change.  You can count on me to continue my work on global warming.

Sincerely,

Barbara Boxer
United States Senator
