Global warming is the one of the most profound threats that we face. From rising sea levels to more dangerous heat waves to increasingly severe hurricanes, the effects of global warming pose an increasing threat. The good news is that the solutions to sharply reduce global warming pollution from power plants, cars and SUVs, and factories, the largest sources, are at our fingertips: clean energy sources like wind and solar power, cars that go farther on a gallon of gas, more energy efficient appliances, and more. We are working to reduce global warming pollution by at least 15 percent by 2020 and 80 percent by 2050 in order to protect future generations and avoid the worst effects of global warming.
