Democratic-led House makes conservation push with lands bill

The bill passed mostly along party lines, with eight Republicans joining all but one Democratic lawmaker in voting for the bill. It is one of the largest land protection packages Congress has ever considered and covers almost 3 million acres of public lands, overwhelmingly in Colorado, California, Washington and Arizona. The ideological split over the bill was evident as the congressional delegation from Colorado debated the measure on the House floor. The legislation encompassed bills from Rep. Joe Neguse and DeGette that would affect more than 1 million acres of public lands in the state. “I prefer public lands with many uses," he said.

Plant a trillion trees: U.S. Republicans offer fossil fuel-friendly climate fix

Our part at home is a lot more than just planting trees. The bill was one of several elements of a broader proposal on climate change introduced by a half dozen House lawmakers on Wednesday. Environmentalists argue that focusing on planting trees or investing in carbon sequestration technology while ignoring emission cuts from fossil fuel use is counterproductive. An overwhelming majority of scientists believe emissions from the combustion of fossil fuels are the main driver of climate change. The American Energy Alliance, a free-market energy industry group, panned Wednesdays Republican proposal as a climate messaging exercise that mimics Democratic proposals.
