Two strong candidates for the 2008 US presidential elections have joined forces to address climate change.
On Friday, Republican John McCain and Democrat Barack Obama – plus independent senator Joe Lieberman - will present a bill in Congress calling for mandatory caps on greenhouse gas emissions from power plants, industry and oil refineries.
The legislation would require that US greenhouse gas emissions be cut by 2% every year. The senators say that as a result of these cuts, emissions would drop back to 2004 levels by 2012, and to 1990 levels by 2020.
