The Climate Leadership Council released a Bipartisan Climate Roadmap to inform legislation for a gradually rising carbon fee to cut U.S. carbon dioxide emissions to 50% below 2005 levels in 2035.

Following is a statement by Andrew Steer, CEO and President of World Resources Institute, a founding member of CLC.
