| The report shows that state-based clean energy policies, along with recent federal policies initiated in the states, will drive emission reductions of roughly 536 million metric tons (CO2 equivalent) of global warming pollution per year by 2020. That’s more pollution that is currently produced each year by all but eight of the world’s nations. | |

| This report examines the relationships between the age and CO2 emissions of America's power plants. We analyze 2007 plant-by-plant data from the Environmental Protection Agency’s Acid Rain Program; 2007 is the most recent year for which final data is available. The report finds that America's power is both old and dirty – and that these two qualities tend to go hand-in-hand. | |

| Globally, the year 2007 tied for the second warmest year on record, behind the record warmth of 2005. This warmth is part of a long-term trend toward rising temperatures and extreme weather events resulting from global warming. | |

| Scientists expect that global warming will cause a variety of changes to precipitation patterns in the United States. Many areas will receive increased amounts of rain and snow over the course of a year; some areas will receive less. But scientists expect that, all across the country, the rainstorms and snowstorms that do occur will be more intense – increasing the risk of flooding and other impacts. | |

| A regional Report Card released today by a coalition of environmental advocates in the New England and Eastern Canada gives New Hampshire a C- for its actions to reduce global warming pollution. The state received a D+ in 2006 and a C- in 2005. The improvement this year came mainly from passing key legislation to encourage cleaner energy sources and Governor Lynch’s commitment to issue an executive order to set up a task force to produce a climate action plan next year. | |

| New England’s transportation system produces more carbon dioxide pollution – the leading contributor to global warming – than any other part of the region’s economy. If New England hopes to fulfill its commitments to reduce global warming pollution, we must reduce emissions from the transportation sector. | |

| In 2006, Americans experienced a summer heat wave that broke records from coast to coast and killed almost 200 people. The year ended and 2007 began with the warmest winter on record globally. This unseasonably warm weather is part of a long-term trend toward rising temperatures and extreme weather events resulting from global warming. | |

| New England is heading for an energy crisis. Indeed, it may have already begun. Energy prices are high and increasingly volatile. The region’s energy infrastructure is strained. The long-term outlook for oil and natural gas supplies is questionable. And our use of energy contributes to a variety of environmental and public safety problems, not the least of which is global warming. | |

| Tailpipe standards already in place in 12 states would reduce global warming emissions by nearly 400 million metric tons by 2020 – a reduction equivalent to taking 74 million of today’s cars off the road for an entire year, according to a new report released today by Environment New Hampshire. The report comes as the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) prepares to hold a public hearing tomorrow in Arlington, Virginia on whether to give states the green light to reduce global warming pollution from cars and SUVs. | |

| Nine Northeast states from Delaware to Maine are currently working to develop a regional system to limit global warming pollution from power plants. The program, known as the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI), represents one of the first significant efforts to mitigate the serious impacts of global warming in the United States. | |

| Nine Northeast states from Delaware to Maine are currently working to develop a regional cap-and-trade system to limit global warming pollution from power plants. The program, known as the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI), represents one of the first significant efforts to mitigate the serious impacts of global warming in the United States. | |
