US climate bill may be frustrated

The climate bill's priorities have been lowered, and Republican senators have threatened to stop supporting the bill's "Caixin Net" (Intern Qin 26th from Beijing), and Linsay Gringham, America's powerful Republican congressman, Lindsey Graham, announced that it would no longer support the Senate version of the climate bill. In an email to the leaders of the U.S. business, defense, environment and religious community, Graham angrily: "Election politics is starting to block our efforts." "He thinks the majority leader, Harry Reid, put the immigration bill's priority on the climate bill before it was the democratic game of" getting the hearts and minds "(cynical ploy), with a view to gaining broad support and sympathy in the mid-term elections, Because the issue of domestic migration has gained more attention than climate issues. So one of the drafters of the climate bill is at risk of withdrawing from the negotiations. He said: "Unless they plan to make adjustments this weekend, I will no longer be able to promote the energy independence of the legislative movement, I do not want our hard work at the end of the fruitless." "The controversy over the immigration Bill and the Climate bill," Lawrence Summers, a White House economist, responded today to a CBS News program: "They are all important, and energy and immigration reforms are not incompatible." The climate bill, drafted by Democratic Senator John Kerry, Independent Senator Lieberman and Republican Senator Linsay Gringham, is due to be announced today to the Senate to discuss its compromise version. The climate bill has been passed by the House of Representatives, and Graham has been working on the Senate version for the past six months, but the Senate passed the bill's priority change, giving him the impression that "confidence has been destroyed." "Graham is an important role that will affect the Republican vote on the bill," Jes Hex Jay Hakes, a senior U.S. government official responsible for energy, said at a symposium at the U.S. Embassy in Beijing today. "The debate is focused on how much energy lawmakers can devote to the climate bill, and now the Senate is increasingly focused on the mid-term elections in the United States."　　America's health-care reform bill, which has taken over Obama's first year, is now being considered by Congress, and if the climate bill is postponed, it is likely not to be put on the agenda in the next few months. Hex analysis said that the bill in the United States Senate was more difficult to pass than in the house, because the House of Representatives to adopt a "majority agreed" vote, as long as the vote is more than a negative vote, but the Senate must have 2/3 of the vote in favour of votes to pass. He said the climate and energy issues are complex, even within the Democratic Party is also controversial, so it is crucial to win the Republican vote. If Graham quits, the climate bill, which would otherwise have been unclear, would face a further dilemma.
