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.

We need stronger and more long lasting action! This is weak and useless.

This is so simple and stupid, it defies the need for comment. Check out the weather in Minnesota for the past 10 years if you have any doubt about global warming's impact! Our climate is on the edge and we cannot afford to delay taking action!

Our environment is crying out to us to intervene. Our sky is filthy, our rivers are polluted, our coral reefs are bleeched. How much longer can we ignore this cry. We need a binding benchmark on emissions NOW.

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.

We need bold, positive proposals to address the problem of global warming, not regressive proposals.

We don't have 20 years. This is the amount of time to chose: Do "fastfood" politics for your personal benefit, or use the power you've been given to really work for your people.

If you are not the morally corrupt politician that your proposed ammendments make you appear to be? Please withdraw your proposal to weaken the legislation on emissions at once....and join the Peoples of the World in trying to improve our planet for future generations ,before it is TOO LATE
