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 real solutions NOW! This means mandatory emissions reduction this year not 10 years from now. We need to get off fossil fuels and minimize dependency on foreign oil. We are 35 years behind! Let's roll!

Yea, let's just delay another 20 years what is already causing serious damage and may be too late. Yea, that makes global sense. This is unbelievable. What does it take to make the world leaders realize the earth is heating up ? A fire directly under your backside ??

The climate crisis is real & urgent. James Hansen of Nasa & 8 other climate scientists are warning of the extreme urgency of the need to act before tipping points are activated. Sir Nicolas Stern (of the UK's Stern Review of 2006) warns of the gross underestimate of the speed of the warming recently realised. We need to price carbon & move away from fossil fuels asap as Germany & Portugal are trying to do. (Portugal aiming at 45% renewables by 2010, Germany 100% by 2030). Are we going to document our demise (Caroline Lucas,Green MEP) on this stunning planet?

We need stronger environmental protection, not weaker. Please vote down the Voinovich proposal and, instead, enact meaningful legislation to seriously reduce the pollution that contributes to global warming. Time is running out to reverse the effects of our wasteful history.

There are a thousand ways to reduce emissions of deadly co2 into the atmosphere! EDUCATION is the key, and obviously Education For Congressmen like Mr. Voinovich!! And proper distribution of monies - to SOLAR energy! THE SUN is the most obvious solution to our household and building energy needs. Algae photobioreactors for every industry flu. Magnetic Motors, Electric Cars recharged by garbage fueled power plants. Please Senator get on the ball! I am too 'uneducated' to make the difference YOU SENATOR can! We Need and Want this Science Now!! We Need Modern Technologies! Do you watch C-span? The ocean is worn!- We are headed for the end of our earth by natural disaster if YOU and I don't make the difference now. Please help prevent humans from killing this majestic planet and the future of the children. America Take the Initiative! Now is Our Chance, Now is our Change. I am an eco artist - ie a Real Artist but I am no one person show! EDUCATION!!! LEARN to LIVE!

Big Oil has no loyalty to this country or it's citizens, they have resisted progress at the expense of every living thing on this planet. The Voinovich proposal is a transparent act of aggression against the public will and health. I think it's time to end the destruction and domination of the world by these multi-national pirates. Please act! Thank You!
