APRIL 9, 2001 The Senate on Friday passed an amendment to the fiscal year 2002 budget bill that authorizes the United States to continue global warming talks. The move comes after the Bush administration has been backing away from the Kyoto Protocol, a treaty that calls on industrial countries to reduce carbon dioxide emissions, which are believed to contribute to global warming. Although the Senate during the Clinton administration voted 95-0 not to sign the treaty in its current form, the amendment approved last week is seen as signaling disapproval of Bush's handling of the issue in recent weeks. The Senate advises and consents on all treaties. Get the Story:
