On Feb.15, the eve of the effective date of the Kyoto Treaty on global warming, I introduced the Pennsylvania Greenhouse Gas Reduction Act (H.B. 500), which would represent an important first step for Pennsylvania in addressing global climate change.
Our federal government's failure to sign on to the Kyoto Treaty makes it even more important for individual states to take action. Pennsylvania has a particular responsibility to act. Our state alone produces about 1 percent of the world's greenhouse gas emissions, more than 105 developing nations combined.
The Greenhouse Gas Reduction Act, which was introduced with the bipartisan support of 49 co-sponsors, would do four things:
* First, it would require the state to create an annual inventory of all greenhouse gas emissions by the various sectors of Pennsylvania's economy, including transportation, electric generation, commercial, agriculture, mining, etc. The inventory would establish a baseline for each of these sectors, and allow the state to measure its future progress in reducing greenhouse gas emissions in each sector. This inventory could probably be performed for about $25,000 per year.

Just to let you know what our illustrious govt. is up to.

Thank goodnes that George W. Bush thumbed his nose at the global warming crap, the kyoto killer of the US economy, we ain't as stupid as you think. Let the other poluters pay, we are cleaner than all other countries, and we ain't paying for them. We ain't paying for anybody. Go find somebody stupid enough to believe your ignorant lies of global warming.
They apparently exists on the Main Line.
We're doomed, Tribune! Doomed I tell you!

I drove to Pittsburgh from Potter County,PA today. I noticed about a foot of fresh global warming(aka-snow)on the ground.
Global warming,my a**.
"They apparently exists on the Main Line."
Sure do. Take it from a former Pennsylvanian who thanks the almighty his family got out.
I think all the blue states should sign the treaty.
Hey, we are if bozos like this get their way.
Junk science 101.
These people are phonies.
I think it will. The thing to know is that Vitali, a very liberal Dem, represents a Republican majority district.
In 1984 we moved to State College and I continued planting and tree leaf record keeping. Despite all the ridiculous claims, if anything, we were at least 5 days later in 2004 in Centre County than in 1984.
I have a couple of key markers including a white ash, a few red maples, white oaks and black oaks. Centre County (5 miles away from the heat island of Penn State) is about 7-10 days behind leaf emergence and tomato planting times than Central Bucks County over a 30 year period.
Who was responsible for the catastrophic global warming that occurred after the last ice age about 18,000 years ago? How could that warming been started (or prevented) I ask the scientifically ignorant global brainwashed masses?
DUH!
Pennsylvania government is among the worst in the nation. Might just be the worst.
