No A/C for Congress until Climate Bill Passes

Senator Boxer introduced the Government Shutdown and Default Prevention Act that would prevent Members of Congress and the President of the United States from being paid during a default or shutdown of the federal government. I would like to encourage her and other Senators to introduce a climate change bill similar to it. It would mandate no air conditioning for House and Senate office buildings or the Capitol until a climate change bill is passed. Hopefully it will be a good bill, not a big giveaway to polluters. In 2009-10, I was a supporter of the Cantwell-Collins CLEAR Act.
