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.

Brilliant - prevent motivated people who care about the environment from taking the initiative to start solving our future's problems. Why? Because we have a bunch of assholes in our Administration who only care about the amount of money pouring into their pockets.

As an Ohio resident and taxpayer, I am deeply saddened that you would propose such legislation!! It seems to me the longer we avoid taking action, the harder it will be to overcome. Shame on you Senator Voinovich!!

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. sincerely, loukia karneris

I can not voice my concern nor my anger well enough on this issue. What we are doing is a form of insanity. Man is the only creature we know of that actively destorys its own environment. What about the generations to come? WHy must profit dictate policy?

You can't seriously think we have another 20 years to get our act together. We need leaders who are ready to act NOW!

This proposal may insure that no one is around in 2020, is that what we really want...a world where we have to wear masks to breathe and so on...

We need serious global warming proposals now. We don't need half-baked weak proposals with no real teeth.

I urge you to veto Senator Vionovich's bill because if passed, the further destruction of our precious planet is assured. Please think ahead to our children's and grandchildren's world and what we ish to leave behind. Will it be a planet that is thriving? Or, will it be a planet which is dying a slow death? Again, please veto this bill and save our planet from the greed of corporate destruction! My sincere thanks for your time.
