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 absolutely need to address and act regarding the global warming issue, despite oil profits or any other considarations. New technologies are needed now, not later. Nuclear, Solar technologies need development as soon as possible. Please act responsibly.

Although you seem to have so little consideration for humanity and the environment it holds, and only find importance for your own proposal, it's ironic because that in itself will only help lead you to your own demise. I strongly oppose your proposal and do hope you will think this issue on global warming more thoroughly. In case you haven't noticed, sir, it's a question of life & death. Please think & act quickly. Thank you.

Emissions reductions are overdue and there is no excuse for postponing them.

Dear Senator, Global warming is a very serious and intest issue with the world today. It is no longer something that we can tspeak about taking action and not follow through with it. People from all over the world need to take serious action now. If we dont start doing something about global warming we could cause a lot of life threatening damage to the next generations, who for most people could be your children, your grand children and so forth. The toxcins we have created over the last century causing global warming are inevetible. We can not reverse those damages, but to create a legislations that is going to prolong the important and correctice actions and improvement to our enviorment are only going to make matters that much worse. Time is very precious.
