Montana council advances handful of climate measures

The 17-member Environmental Quality Council consisting mostly of legislators adopted its climate-change report Monday and advanced fewer than a dozen measures based on the recommendations received last year from the Governor’s Climate Change Advisory Committee. The council had rejected most of the recommendations earlier.
