w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Maryland</st1:place></st1:State> 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.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<st1:State w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Maryland</st1:place></st1:State> 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: <st1:State
w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Maryland</st1:place></st1:State>'s state bird,
the Baltimore Oriole, is migrating northward seeking refuge in cooler climates.
Some insurance providers have stopped issuing policies for coastal <st1:State
w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Maryland</st1:place></st1:State> for fear of
increasingly severe weather, such as hurricanes. <st1:State w:st="on">Maryland</st1:State>'s
rich maritime history is slowly succumbing to the rising waters of the <st1:place
w:st="on">Chesapeake Bay</st1:place>; coastal graveyards and bay islands are
being inundated at a record pace. <br clear=all>
