Environment New Jersey advocates stand with Gov. Jon Corzine as he signs the strongest state global warming bill in the country.

Recently...

Despite the worst manmade environmental disaster in our history unfolding in the Gulf of Mexico and the hottest January-June on record, the U.S. Senate was unable to pass a comprehensive clean energy and global warming bill before leaving for its August recess. See our release. To make matters worse, Senator Jay Rockefeller of West Virginia is leading an effort to jeopardize our ability to address global warming by taking the legs out from under the Clean Air Act--a law with a nearly 40-year track record of cutting dangerous pollution to protect public health.

What's at stake

More and more Americans are concerned about what global warming will mean for the health and well-being of future generations. Environment America is working in the states and at the federal level to reduce global warming pollution by at least 35 percent by 2020—the science-based reductions needed to protect future generations.

Environment America has been instrumental in passing global warming solutions at the state level, including statewide limits on global warming pollution in California, Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Jersey, and Washington, global warming emission standards for cars in 14 states, and regional limits on global warming emissions from power plants in the Northeast and Northwest. At the same time, we have been building support for strong federal action on global warming.

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.
