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.

On April 1, 2010, the Obama administration finalized landmark tailpipe standards that will cut global warming pollution, reduce America’s dependence on oil, and save Americans money at the gas pump. 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

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.

State Leadership and the National Clean Cars Program 3/26/2010

America’s dependence on oil threatens our economy and harms our environment. Roughly half of all the oil we use in the United States goes into the gas tanks of our cars and light trucks. The oil we use in our vehicles is also a major contributor to global warming. The Obama administration is slated to unveil new standards for automobile fuel economy and global warming emissions by the end of March. These new standards—based on the “clean cars program” developed by California and adopted by 13 other states—will make a significant contribution toward reducing America’s dependence on oil and reducing the impact of our vehicles on the environment.
