Global warming heating up, says wildlife group officialPatrick SweetStaff Writer
Feeling the heat this sum-mer? Yourenot theonly oneto have noticed.
What many consider justanother brutal heat wave,
though, others are callingsigns of globalwarming.
The National Wildlife Fed-eration is amping up globalwarming awareness in thewake of clean air and cli-mate change legislationdying in Congress. Swelter-ing temperaturesin Luzerne
County, they say, are a sam-ple of whats to come.
A Senatebill amending theClean AirAct andcreating anational uniform air pollut-ant regulatory program forelectric utilities stalled whenit was sent to thesenate com-
mittee on environment andpublicworks.
Ed Perry, an outreachcoordinator for the wildlifefederation, said the legisla-tion charging utilities fordumping carbon dioxidewould have been key tosparking positive environ-
mental change.Once we put a price on
carbon pollution, Perrysaid, there is going to beinnovation.
The federal EnvironmentalProtection Agency released afact sheet regarding global
warming which classifiesburning fossil fuels, defores-tation and land developmentas the primary contributorsto climate change.
Climate change is a realand urgent challenge that isalready affecting people andthe environmentworldwide,
the agencyssheet stated.
Theprimaryeffect of glob-al warming on LuzerneCounty residents will likelybe heat-related illnesses, Per-ry said.
According to theEPA, heatisthe leadingcauseof weath-er-related death, with morethan6,300casesbetween 1976
and 2006. On the upside,
increased temperatures mayresult in fewer deaths fromextreme cold.
I think you are going tosee people in this town thatdont have air conditioningsuffer, Perry said.
