Mandates climate change research programs and reporting. Creates a greenhouse gas database registry.

Background

This language was orginally filed in 2003/1/, and then again in 2005 as S.342, the Climate Stewardship Act of 2005. The 2005 text does not contain targets, objectives, or goals for greenhouse gas emissions reductions. Nor does it discuss the mechanism for establishing them.
