Now Is Our Chance to Solve Global Warming

Global Warming Solutions

Environment America is working to convince states and the federal government to reduce global warming pollution quickly enough and deeply enough to protect future generations. Read more.

President Obama announced a new national standard for clean cars, which will be the first ever federal global warming standard for vehicles. We’re pushing to make sure the standards meet the President’s goals. Read more.

Clean Transportation Future

To cut our carbon footprint, we need to make it easier for Americans to get around on public transportation, on foot and by bike. That means investing in our public transit systems now, to boost and expand service to meet rising demand. Read more.

Campus Climate Challenge

Environment America is working to reduce global warming pollution on college campuses across the country. Read more.

Global warming in brief

Global warming is the one of the most profound threats of our time. From dangerous heat waves and shrinking snowpack to extreme drought and increased wildfires, the dangers of global warming are cause for immediate action.

By harnessing the power of the wind and the sun and achieving dramatic improvements in the efficiency with which we use our energy, we can cut global warming pollution and transition to clean energy sources that don't harm the environment, never run out, and create new jobs across America.

Urge Your Senators to Support Strong Global Warming Legislation

On November 5, the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee passed the Clean Energy Jobs and America Power Act (S. 1733).

The bill is one big step to a clean energy future. And it’s an improvement on the House bill that passed with our support in June. It includes deeper cuts in global warming pollution and no strings to tie the EPA’s hand in cleaning up old, dirty power plants and other big carbon polluters.

But Big Oil, Dirty Coal, and other polluters are working tirelessly to delay the transition to clean energy. Send an email to your Senators now urging them to support a strong bill to stop the worst effects of global warming and move America to clean energy, which will make America more energy independent and repower our economy with millions of green jobs that can't be shipped overseas.

Take Action.

Plug-In Cars: Powering America Toward a Cleaner Future 1/20/2010

For more than 50 years, the automobile has played a central and ever-growing role in American life. Up until recently, much of the major American automakers business model was been built around the sale of large cars and SUVs. Now, a decade into the 21st century, automakers appear to be serious about electric vehicles as the next wave of automotive technology. “Plug-In Cars, Powering America toward a Cleaner Future,” a new white paper by Environment America, gives an overview of plug-in electric cars and how they can lower global warming emissions, oil consumption and unhealthy air pollution and lays out a plan for how local, state and federal officials can increase the number of electric vehicles on the road.
