Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives regarding the United States policy on carbon dioxide emissions.

Summary

Expresses the sense of the House of Representatives that it should be U.S. policy to reduce national emissions of carbon dioxide in the next ten years by 20 percent from the 1990 baseline level and to assume a leadership position in negotiating an international climate protection treaty that includes establishing: (1) agreements by industrialized nations to reduce their current carbon dioxide emissions by 20 percent in the next ten years, by developing nations to reduce their growth in carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuel combustion, and by all countries to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases; (2) an international fund to help developing countries achieve such objectives; and (3) a mechanism for continuing international cooperation for the development of policies for future emissions reductions.
