Pelosi: Mandatory Greenhouse Gas Emissions Cuts Needed

The United States cannot effectively tackle global warming without enacting mandatory restrictions on greenhouse gas emissions, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said today.

“Scientific evidence suggests that to prevent the most severe effects of global warming, we will need to cut global greenhouse gas emissions roughly in half from today’s levels by 2050,” Pelosi said. “We cannot achieve the transformation we need, both in the United States and throughout the international community without mandatory action to reduce greenhouse gas pollution.”
