| 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. | |

| Developing Colorado's renewable energy resources will yield better results for Coloradans than building more coal- or gas-fired power plants. By investing in renewable energy to meet our electricity needs, we can create jobs, stabilize energy prices, and reduce the long-term economic and environmental risk from global warming pollution. | |

| Governor Bill Ritter recently announced a goal of reducing Colorado’s global warming pollution by 20 percent below 2005 levels by 2020 and by 80 percent by 2050. Colorado has already taken some initial steps toward cutting global warming pollution by increasing our use of renewable resources such as wind and solar power. | |

| 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. | |

| Rising global temperatures, unpredictable weather and alarming scientific predictions have led to increasing public concern about the impacts of global warming on the environment, health and society. But while the Bush administration continues to resist efforts to reduce global warming pollution, many states are taking effective actions to address the threat—including the adoption of the “Clean Cars Program,” which sets limits on global warming pollution from cars, light trucks and SUVs. | |

| States are leading the way toward a new energy future that is healthier for the environment and America’s economy. Over the past decade, states have enacted a variety of policies to encourage more efficient use of energy, increase the use of clean renewable energy, and reduce the environmental impact of energy use. This report highlights state action in five areas of clean energy policy and the benefits of those actions. We give special recognition to a number of states that are providing clean energy leadership for America. | |
