House Democrats are unveiling on Tuesday a wide-ranging plan to combat climate change with a goal of effectively capturing more carbon dioxide than power plants, factories and cars emit into the atmosphere after 2050.
The so-called negative emissions proposal is part of the more than 500-page blueprint from the Select Committee on the Climate Crisis convened by Speaker Nancy Pelosi and headed by Representative Kathy Castor of Florida.
