<a href="BBC News - US senators unveil climate change bill"strong>A major bill aimed at reducing America’s reliance on foreign oil and fighting global warming has been unveiled by US senators. What should the US do about climate change?
After healthcare reform, passing a climate change law is Mr Obama’s biggest legislative priority.
Senator John Kerry revealed that the bill proposes cutting US carbon emissions by 17% by 2020 - it also includes provisions for relaxing rules on offshore oil-drilling, a highly controversial subject in the wake of the Gulf of Mexico oil spill.
Does the climate change bill cover all the important factors? What should President Obama do about oil drilling, power generation and carbon emissions? How will the bill affect you? Send us your comments.
