I wanted to let my fellow residents know that the Maryland legislature is
considering a very strong bill to tackle global warming. The Governor
supports it and Senator Pinsky sponsored it. However, to get it passed
citizens need to really get out and show their support by emailing and
calling there reps. The Global Warming Solutions Act sets a goal of reducing
global warming pollution to 1990 levels by 2020. If passed, it will really
create a lot of momentum for federal action.

The Chesapeake Climate Action Network – HYPERLINK
"http://www.mdclimatesolutions.org"www.mdclimatesolutions.org has a bunch
information and ways you can help. 

Global Warming and Maryland 
Maryland is one of the most vulnerable states to the effects of global
warming. With over 3,100 miles of coastline, a large portion of the state is
particularly vulnerable to sea level rise. Global warming will cause 2 feet
of sea level rise this century – and that is the low end estimate. The
warming climate is already affecting the states natural & historic
treasures, and economy: Maryland's state bird, the Baltimore Oriole, is
migrating northward seeking refuge in cooler climates. Some insurance
providers have stopped issuing policies for coastal Maryland for fear of
increasingly severe weather, such as hurricanes. Maryland's rich maritime
history is slowly succumbing to the rising waters of the Chesapeake Bay;
coastal graveyards and bay islands are being inundated at a record pace. 

Thanks,

Lisa Grob
