(CNSNews.com) \u2013 <\/strong>John Bryson, President Barack Obama’s\u00a0nominee to be secretary of commerce,\u00a0said it was \u201cincredibly important\u201d that the United States pass cap and trade legislation and that America needed to be a global leader in combating man-made global warming.<\/p>\n

\u201cI regard it as incredibly important that the United States comes forth in this year with federal climate change legislation as a foundation for moving ahead,\u201d Bryson told the U.N. International Energy Conference in late August 2009. \u201cI think we in the U.S. have an obligation to assist in significant ways in providing leadership in this community of nations that you represent and addressing energy and climate change.\u201d<\/p>\n
