What's New

Senators Kerry (D-MA), Graham (R-SC), and Lieberman (I-CT) are working together to craft a comprehensive clean energy and global warming bill that will repower Washington and America with millions of new clean energy jobs. Despite this progress, however, Senator Lisa Murkowski is leading a sweeping effort in Congress 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.

Brief Summary

More and more Washingtonians are concerned about what global warming will mean for the health and well-being of future generations. Environment Washington 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 Washington has been instrumental in passing global warming solutions at the state level, including statewide limits on global warming pollution, global warming emission standards for cars, and regional limits on global warming emissions from power plants in the Northwest. At the same time, we have been building support for strong federal action on global warming.
