Don't Allow Global Warming Pollution to Increase for Decades
Target: U.S. Senate
Sponsored by: Environmental Defense Fund
Sponsored by: Environmental Defense Fund
Senator George Voinovich (R-OH) proposed legislation that would postpone meaningful action on global warming pollution for at least twenty years.
The Voinovich bill is dressed up as a way to take action, but in fact is a detailed prescription for doing nothing.
The proposal would take away state authority to control global warming pollution, undermining efforts in dozens of states, including California, Florida and the Northeast members of the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative, which have set ambitious emissions reduction targets. And this is just the beginning.
We need to do everything we can to defeat Senator Voinovich's sham proposal. Email your Senators today.

The time to strike is now. Senator George Voinovich's bill is highly destructive the advances our country is making to combat global warming pollution.

We need to act now. No question. Please let pro-active states remain so and push for more immediate and sizable targets.

Dear Senator, Senator George Voinovich recently proposed legislation that would allow global warming pollution to increase for decades. Even though the proposal is being pitched as a way to address global warming, its real impact would be to block serious global warming action this year. I urge you to oppose the Voinovich proposal. The proposal calls for weak, non-binding emissions reduction benchmarks - current levels in 2020 and 1990 levels in 2030 - while providing taxpayer-funded subsidies for favored technologies.
