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.

I am afraid we will soon reach the "tipping point" or the point of no return when all the icecaps will be gone and global warming will accelerate to catastrophic level which can result in mass extinction of life on earth. All possible must be done w/o causing mass starvation eg we should immediately lower speed limits on US highways ect.

The benchmarks for this bill are unsatisfactory. We can do better than that and if we don't start protecting the planet, we won't have one to protect!

It is crucial we start to pay attention to the damage we have done to our environment. The changes we make now will aid us and our future generations. We need reduce emissions and work towards new sustainable technologies
