Global Climate Change
Global climate change is one of the most
serious threats to the environment, health
and economy of our nation. Recent scientific
studies show that global warming is already
causing environmental changes that will have
significant global economic and social
impacts.
The League believes that now is the time to
act on global climate change. We can reduce
global warming pollution by using existing
technologies to make power plants and
factories more efficient, make cars go
farther on a gallon of gasoline, and shift
to cleaner technologies. Cities, states and
individuals are already adopting many of
these solutions, which also reduce our
dependence on oil, reduce air pollution, and
protect pristine places from oil drilling
and mining. State and local initiatives are
proving that answers exist.
To reinforce and expand on those efforts,
the League urges federal action that reduces
global warming pollutants on a national and
global scale.
