| Nationwide the damages to America's #1 crop total more than $1.4 billion annually. Environment Arizona expects these costs to go up unless Congress and the president take decisive action to repower America with clean energy and reduce global warming pollution. | |
| Today the Arizona House of Representatives Committee on Environment voted in favor of prohibiting the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ) from continuing to participate in the Western Climate Initiative (WCI). | |
| Global warming pollution in Arizona jumped 464 percent between 1960 and 2001, according to "The Carbon Boom: National And State Trends In Global Warming Pollution Since 1960," a new analysis of government data released today by the Arizona PIRG Education Fund. | |
| Environment Arizona released a new report, Global Warming Solutions that Work, which details more than 20 examples of cutting-edge policies and practices that communities, states and countries are using to reduce global warming pollution. | |
| The Western Climate Initiative (WCI) today unveiled their final design for a regional program to reduce global warming pollution in Arizona and six other western states and four Canadian provinces by at least 15 percent below 2005 levels by 2020. | |
| The Western Climate Initiative (WCI) today unveiled their proposed design for a regional cap and trade program to spur reductions in carbon emissions that cause global warming. | |
| Today, the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee released a substitute to the Climate Security Act, which is scheduled to be debated on the Senate floor in early June. | |
| Environment Arizona applauded new legislation to address global warming unveiled today by Representative Ed Markey, Chairman of the House Select Committee on Energy Independence and Global Warming and a senior member of the House Energy and Commerce Committee. | |
| By a vote of 48-36, the Senate fell short of the 60-vote threshold needed to move forward with a bill on global warming, causing consideration of the bill to end without any substantive votes on the measure. | |
| Environment Arizona strongly criticized the Bush EPA's announcement today that it will further delay action in response to last year's U.S. Supreme Court ruling requiring the EPA to reconsider its 2003 decision not to regulate global warming emissions under the Clean Air Act. | |
| President Bush today announced a new goal of stopping the growth of U.S. global warming emissions by 2025. Yet, in 2007, the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change concluded that global emissions must peak no later than 2015 to prevent catastrophic effects of global warming. | |
| With Western governors poised to announce details of a program to cap global warming emissions in seven western states, environmental organizations are urging officials to make sure polluters pay for pollution permits, rather than receive what amounts to billions of dollars in trade-able assets for free. | |
| President Bush today announced a new goal of stopping the growth of U.S. global warming emissions by 2025. Yet, in 2007, the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change concluded that global emissions must peak no later than 2015 to prevent catastrophic effects of global warming. | |
| EPA has turned a blind eye to the law, science, and the critical role that the states are playing in tackling global warming. The decision to block California’s vehicle emissions standards is nothing less than an early Christmas gift to the automobile industry from their friends in the White House. | |
| Scientists have said for years that global warming was “loading the dice†when it comes to increasing the frequency of severe storms, and a new Environment Arizona report makes it clear that the Phoenix Metropolitan region is already experiencing extreme downpours much more frequently. | |
| On this Earth Day, the Arizona Public Interest Research Group (Arizona PIRG) called on Congress and the Bush administration to get serious about ending America’s dependence on oil. The organization released a “12-step program†that will wean America from its addiction to oil and stop global warming. | |
| Although it seems like every day we see more evidence of the dangers of global warming, according to a new report released by the Arizona PIRG Education Fund, Arizona can act now to reduce its share of global warming pollution by adopting policies which would lead to cleaner cars, the more efficient use of our energy and more solar and other clean renewable energy sources. | |
| This year’s unprecedented heat wave is part of a broader trend of rising temperatures in Arizona, according to a new report released today by the Arizona Public Interest Research Group (Arizona PIRG). The average temperature in Phoenix is up 1.63° F since 2000 compared with the previous three decades (1971-2000). | |
| Pollution Blamed For Global Warming In Authoritative Scientific Report | |
| Governors of five Western States today announced a regional plan to reduce global warming pollution. Under the Western Regional Climate Action Initiative, Oregon, California, Washington, New Mexico, and Arizona will adopt pollution-reduction goals for the five states and a market-based program to meet them, such as a “cap and trade†program, within 18 months. | |
| Today the House approved funding for a new select committee on global warming and energy independence. We applaud the House leadership for focusing on this important problem. | |
| Environment Arizona applauded Representative Henry Waxman (D-CA), the chair of the House Oversight Committee and a senior member of the House Energy and Commerce Committee and a bipartisan group of 128 members for introducing strong, comprehensive legislation today to fight global warming. The Safe Climate Act would limit global warming pollution to levels that current science says are needed to prevent the worst effects of global warming. | |
| Two-thirds of Arizona voters say that global warming is taking place and action should be taken. | |
| Approximately 20-30 percent of plant and animal species are at increasing risk of extinction if the global average temperature increases by another 2.2 to 4 degrees Fahrenheit, according to a major consensus report released today by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). The IPCC is a United Nations body charged with assessing the scientific record on global warming. | |
| As a public comment period comes to a close on a proposed rule to list the polar bear as a threatened species, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is expected to announce the receipt of more than 500,000 electronic comments and hundreds of submissions from schoolchildren to environmental groups to industry groups. If listed, the polar bear would be the first mammal to receive protected status under the Endangered Species Act because of the threat of global warming. | |
| Global warming pollution in Arizona increased by 53.6% between 1990 and 2004, according to The Carbon Boom, a new analysis of state fossil fuel consumption data released today by Environment Arizona. This is the first time that 2004 state-by-state data on carbon dioxide emissions have been released. | |
| The pollution reductions needed to stave off the worst effects of global warming can be achieved—if governments act now, according to a major consensus report released today by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). The IPCC is a United Nations body charged with assessing the scientific record on global warming. | |
| We commend U.S. Senator Bingaman for working to build support for action on global warming. Unfortunately, his new bill fails to deliver the pollution reductions science shows are needed in the next 10 years to stave off the most dangerous impacts of global warming for future generations. | |
| The average temperature in Phoenix was 1.9°F above average in 2006, according to a new report released today by Environment Arizona. Environment Arizona said this warmer-than-normal weather is indicative of what Arizona can expect with continued global warming. | |
| The draft bill unveiled today by U.S. Senators Lieberman (I-CT) and Warner (R-VA) is an encouraging starting point for Senate action on global warming. We commend the senators for their achievement. | |
