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.

Asthma, bronchitis, sinusitis, chest infections, cancer - sick workers can't pay taxes. Why does Congress keep shooting itself in the foot?

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. view more The Environmental Protection Agency could establish a cap and trade system to reduce emissions - but it could be suspended the cap on a whim, and it would come with an astonishingly low $5 per ton "safety valve" - an artificial price control on emissions reductions. In the meantime, the proposal would take away state authority - confirmed by the U.S. Supreme Court in Massachusetts v. EPA - to control global warming pollution. Dozens of states across the country, including California, Florida, and the Northeast members of the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative, have set ambitious emissions reduction targets. This so-called global warming proposal is nothing more than a detailed prescription for doing nothing. It's time to get serious about global warming. I urge you to oppose the Voinovich bill. Thank you. Sincerely, sinai

We need to get serious about global warming and our ravenous energy use. It's time to stop being the gluttons of the world. We already have to many people in other countires following our example. We should try to be a good example instead of personifying everything bad.
