ANNAPOLIS, Md. (WJZ)—An ambitious plan to deal with climate change. This week, Gov. Martin O’Malley made major strides with the scientific community, which says our state is in the target zone for the affects of extreme weather.
This week, Gov. O’Malley hosted hundreds of scientists, business leaders and environmental advocates for a climate change summit.
He released what he calls the country’s most ambitious greenhouse gas reduction plan.
“This is not only about icebergs melting and polar bears drowning, it’s also more locally about the 168 Marylanders we’ve lost in severe weather events over the past decade and a half,” Gov. O’Malley said.
The plan includes:
- reducing greenhouse gas emissions 25% by 2020
- cutting emissions from power plants by 40%
- doubling Maryland’s transit ridership by 2020

O’Malley probably wishes that everyone was like me. I ride my bike everywhere, never use AC, and keep the house at 60F in the winter. If everyone in America was as green as me, there would never be any more bad weather – and all the creatures would live together in peace and harmony.

Obambi on the Rocks ?
O’Malley is ambitious. He wants to be President. Like with most liberals, his “green” initatives are based on politics alone.
Weather related death, injury, and damage have actually declined in Md from 1995 to 2012:

Note that over the time period plotted, atmospheric CO2 has increased from 363 ppm to 391 ppm
I wonder if the good Governor would like to borrow my plot?
What happened to the separation of church and state? Some folks believe that you should give your life to Christ to save the world, but at least they do not try and force it through legislation.
