Avoid Severe Climate Change in California
Target: Governor Arnold SchwarzeneggerSponsored by: Union of Concerned Scientists
The science is clear: the severity of global warming in California depends on our emissions of heat-trapping gas. The more we emit, the worse the impacts. A new analysis co-authored by scientists at Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS) projects a dramatic increase in heat waves and heat-related mortality, and significant reductions in Sierra snow pack.
Despite these findings, automakers are expected to file a lawsuit against California's landmark regulations to reduce global warming pollution from cars and light trucks. Please help us convince Governor Schwarzenegger to continue to stand up to automakers and support strong regulations that would reduce greenhouse gas emissions from new passenger vehicles 30% by 2016.
Our health and environment depend on it!

If the climate in any state is changed it will affect each and every other state in some way. More flooding, drought, high winds and so on. It could drasticly chang our ecosystem in bording states and just keep getting worse.

Please support legislation that would reduce greenhouse gas emissions from automobiles. We are killing ourselves with our own cars by just breathing what is pumped out the backs of them.

Hey, you were really hot in TRUE LIES. But not as hot as you are going to be if you don't pay as much attention to protecting the environment as you possibly can!

Restore the forest and wetland ecosystems within our state. This will help with the canopy and capture more moisture during the winter seasons. It all itwill help California to rmain cooler.

We already feel the effects of global warming. The question is not "will it come", but "how fast will it get worse and what will be the effects to earth". Vehicle manufacturers are a good place to start the fix ... if a fix at this late point is possible.

It is an issue that needs to be strongly addressed. Please make sure that it is.

It is important that we take action to counteract the negative effects of air pollution for the health and well-being of humans, flora, and fauna. Asthma and other forms of diseases related to a polluted environment are reaching record highs in this country. The key to stopping pollution is to practice conservation and promote ecology awareness. We can reduce the levels of tropospheric ozone, acid rain, and photochemical smog, all of which unfortunately affect the metropolitian areas of California as well as those of other states and countries.

Please uphold California's strong regulations to protect our air and our public health. Do not allow the automobile industry to dismantle our environmental protections!
