From PennEnvironment (http://www.pennenvironment.org):
2018 was recorded as the 4th hottest year ever globally, only behind 2015, 2016 and 2017.
2018 was also the wettest year ever recorded in Scranton, Reading, State College, and Pittsburgh, PA, joining more than two dozen cities in the Midwest and on the East coast.
We need to make public health and reducing air pollution a major priority in the upcoming federal legislative session. After three consecutive years of reducing climate-changing carbon dioxide emissions, CO2 pollution went up 3.4% in the United States last year, leading a global increase of 2.7%.
Go to http://salsa4.salsalabs.com/o/51176/p/dia/action4/common/public/?action_KEY=25831 to tell your federal congressperson Pennsylvania deserves modern transportation infrastructure that will conserve energy, reduce air pollution, and prevent further damage from climate change. We must also prevent the administration’s proposed weakening of the life-saving Mercury and Air Toxics Standard. We need action to reverse the dangerous backsliding of carbon reductions experienced under this administration.
