As the debate over what to do about climate change heats up, RTI International has released a study claiming that the legislative measures proposed by the U.S. Climate Action Partnership are unlikely to affect long-term economic growth in the country. In fact, the study says, the U.S. Climate Action Partnership’s plan would cost American families just a few pennies a day. The Pew Center on Global Climate Change paid for the study, an RTI spokeswoman said. The Pew Center is member of the U.S. Climate Action Partnership, a group of businesses and other organizations urging the Congress to quickly enact strong legislation that significantly reduces greenhouse emissions.
