Last July, before it was commonly expected that the Republicans would have sweeping victories in the November elections -- elections subsequently characterized by Obama as a "shellacking" -- the Democrats decided to introduce this Zadroga 9/11 bill in the U.S. House of Representatives. But the Democrats chose a method too clever by half: namely using a procedural method that required a two-thirds majority vote.
The vote total in the House was 255-159, with twelve Republicans voting for it -- and that meant the bill was defeated, even though it was well over fifty percent. The "cleverness" of the Democrats in not allowing the Republicans to add, subtract, or debate both amendments and the body of the bill resulted in this fiasco. The Democrats apparently thought that Nancy Pelosi's famous line, that "we have to pass the bill so you can find out what's in it," was the new standard in the U.S. Congress. Others thought not.
So go ahead and blame the republicans on this, it's been up for a vote before, blame it on politicians as a whole

Carbon is not the problem, it makes up 0.041% of our atmosphere , 95% of that is from Volcanos and decomposing plants and stuff. So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants
think about that
