Supporting a limit on carbon dioxide emissions and funding clean energy will defend Pennsylvanians against health-damaging pollution.
Why is this important?
Pennsylvania generates 1 percent of global emissions. When compared with entire nations, PA ranks as the world's twenty second largest emitter of carbon dioxide.
The resulting excessive heat and air pollution exacerbates respiratory issues which puts the state's asthmatic population, higher than the national average, in considerable dangers.
