Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - Cite This Source

The Climate Stewardship Act of 2004 was an environmental bill with United States Senator John McCain (R-AZ) and Sen. Joseph Lieberman (D-CT) as co-sponsors.

The bill was defeated in the U.S. Senate in 2003.

If passed, it would have capped 2010 CO₂ emissions at the 2000 level. Residential and agricultural areas, as well as areas deemed "not feasible", would be exempt. The bill would have also established a scholarship at the National Academy of Sciences for those studying climatology.
