More Background on this Event:
Rep. Boswell
has signed on to the Safe Climate Act (HR1590). This bill is a great first step,
but the future of strong global warming policy will depend on key
principles--most notably, that revenue from a cap and trade program will go to
the cleanest, safest, fastest technology available to reduce emissions (not to
dirty false hopes like coal and carbon storage) and that this revenue will help
to swiftly transition us to a clean energy workforce.
Leaders in
Congress, Reps. Waxman, Markey and Inslee have authored a letter to Speaker
Pelosi detailing these principles. Greenpeace is asking that Rep. Boswell take
the next step and join these climate heroes by signing on to this letter
committing to a clear road map to climate solutions for the economy and our
environment.
Please join us!
Thank you!
