When you live on an island, the threat of global warming has specific consequences. Fortunately, Hawaii became a national leader in the fight against global climate change when Governor Linda Lingle signed a historic measure that will dramatically decrease the state’s greenhouse gas emissions over the next decade.Said Jeff Mikulina, director of the Sierra Club’s Hawaii Chapter, “Hawaii now has one of the most aggressive laws in the nation to fight global climate change. Our islands’ extreme vulnerability to sea level rise, hurricanes, and ocean acidification demands that we become a national leader in global warming solutions.”
And where Hawaii leads, can New Jersey be far behind? The Garden State just adopted the nation’s toughest greenhouse-gas reduction law (one day before hosting the North American Live Earth concert). Together with California, that makes three states down and 47 to go.
