With Republicans ( 1 )ly opposing the climate change bill in the first House committee to consider it, t
he haggling is taking place among Democrats. On one side are those trying to pass landmark global
warming ( 2 ), and on the other, those seeking ( 3 )s in it to ease tough pollution standards on their
districts and local industries. The first deal was struck Monday: up to $4,500 as an ( 4 ) to trade
in gas-guzzlers for new, fuel-efficient vehicles that will emit smaller quantities of warming gases into
the atmosphere. (See pictures of the ( 5 ) planet.)
Detroit, not surprisingly, loves the plan, which makes Rep. John Dingell, the powerful automaker ( 6 ),
more likely to support broader ( 7 ). But the ( 8 ) proposal's passage is no indication that the broader
bill will have an easy time of it. A rare win-win for industry and the environment, it didn't require
any of the the trade-offs being discussed to pass the "cap and trade" measure at the center of the
House global warming ( 9 ). Introduced April 1, the measure would require all sources of warming gases
? produced by the burning of coal, oil and natural gas ? to cap their ( 10 ) at 20% of 2005 levels
by 2020. If they exceed their limits, polluters can buy credits from cleaner sources.
The bill's first hurdle is the Energy and Commerce Committee. Facing blanket GOP opposition,
Chairman Henry Waxman is ( 11 )ing a majority among Democrats and negotiating separately
with a number of members who represent regional and ( 12 ) concerns. Agreements have not quickly
fallen into place, however, prompting a pair of developments Monday: a pep talk by President Obama,
who ( 13 )ed his support for such legislation at a 90-minute White House meeting with Waxman
and ( 14 )s, and a public acknowledgement of the lack of ( 15 ) by House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer,
who told reporters,: "Whether it's a ( 16 ) or not, I don't know."
