1. Congress should not spend time legislating climate change in the coming year.
2. The United States cannot do much about greenhouse gases emission by itself, and we should not put a burden on our economy in passing climate change laws.
3. If the United States attempts to reduce emissions on its own now, it would make it hard for negotiators to reach agreements with developing countries.
4. Congress is going to be unable to reach an agreement on any major legislation during an election year.
5. Debating something as important as climate change legislation requires deliberation, not speed.
