Urge your state legislators to reduce global warming pollution in California
Scientists agree that global warming threatens California's future. California is the twelfth largest emitter of global warming pollution in the world, and if left unchecked, global warming could worsen California's air quality; reduce the Sierra snowpack that is a source of our drinking water; and jeopardize the state's economy, including our agriculture, tourism, skiing and forestry industries.
Other states and countries often adopt California's environmental policies, so limiting the state's pollution could have a real impact on curbing global warming, well, globally. If we act soon to limit pollution, California could also spur investments in the emerging clean energy market, making "clean tech" the new "high tech" and fueling the state's economic prosperity for years to come.
California lawmakers have proposed a bill that would help implement the voluntary pollution reduction targets set forth by Governor Schwarzenegger in June 2005. The Global Warming Solutions Act would set enforceable limits to cut the state's global warming pollution 25 percent by 2020. The act faces several crucial votes during the next couple of months, so Californians must demonstrate broad support for the bill as it moves through the state legislature.
== What to do == If you live in California, send a message urging your state senator and assemblymember to support and vote Yes for the Global Warming Solutions Act (AB 32).
