Actress Kyra Sedgwick, star of television drama The Closer, urged fans to call on their US Representatives to pass a climate change bill that was rejected by the US Congress last month, reported Contactmusic.com last Wednesday.

The actress tweeted several messages on her Twitter account, where she lamented, “Nothing is more depressing than congress deciding not to pursue Climate Change legislation. I am terrified for all of us. Especially the children. If you feel the same way, call or write your senators to tell them you’re disappointed.”

The bill, which was introduced to the Senate and intended to be a bipartisan effort to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, oil dependence, and national energy consumption, fell out due to differing interests on both sides of the aisle. {etRelate 40479}

On July 22, Senate majority leader Harry Reid announced that they will not be reviewing legislation on climate change, but instead will be focusing on the Gulf oil spill response.
