Three hundred fifty parts per million is what many scientists are now saying is the safe upper limit for carbon dioxide in our atmosphere. As one of your constituents, I would like to ask you what you are doing to bring CO2 levels within an acceptable range.

Listen to: U.S. Rep. Stephen Lynch (D-MA)
Lynch: As a legislator you mean? Well I supported the recent energy bill which I think will provide huge incentives for green technologies to be developed. It’s pending in the Senate but I understand there’s a willingness at least on part of Senate to take that up. I think it’s a long range bill, this is so called cap and trade, that I think will reduce our reliance on foreign oil. I think that’s the big shift that has to occur for us to make any dent at all in climate change, global warming.
