CLIMATE: White House still hopes to pass bill this year -- Browner


The White House is "deeply disappointed" that Congress hasn't passed climate legislation but won't give up on getting it done this year, President Obama's top climate and energy adviser said yesterday. Carol Browner said on NBC's "Meet the Press" that the administration is still holding out hope for a legislative victory on climate and energy, despite the political challenges of passing a controversial bill through the Senate after the chamber returns from its August recess.
