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.

This is a shameful attempt to pander to special interests. Please oppose this proposal which could have a terrible impact on the lives of everyone on the planet.

This is a serious issue. I hear daily about how goals of building more energy efficient everything are cut. Someone needs to take a stand and stand by the talk that goes on in this country saying how much we care about the environment

Our generation will be judged by future generations for our ability to act decisively, not back pedal or allow further global warming pollution to continue.

There is nothing more important than saving the environment. Without a healthy ecosystem, we are all DEAD!

Climate Change is here and if all countries... not just the US don't put in a substantial effort we're all going to be plagued by the selfcentred decisions of elected governments. It's time for democracy to work its magic.

Such a measure is entirely ridiculous. Funding must be delivered to those technologies which will have an actual positive impact on the problems of pollution, and pollution levels must be reduced far quicker than Voinovich's proposal calls for, if we are to have any hope of minimizing the permanent damage to the entire planet and all the human and animal life upon it.

This is the most important issue of our time! You must act responsibly and honestly before it's to late.

Global warming needs to be addressed IMMEDIATELY. The world cannot wait a couple of years. Is Voinovich so selfish that he would sacrifice millions of lives all for the sake of a couple extra dollars right now? This proposal is flawed and going to cause far more harm than any (if that) good it may create.
