We are all going to suffer if the planet continues on its warming pace?

Currently, we are on a path where our carbon pollution has gone up to 400 ppm, up from about 270 ppm for the industrial revolution.

Your plan allows partnerships to occur between States as another form of flexibility?

Thank you for bringing forward a plan that encourages each State to find the most cost effective, flexible way of taking on carbon dioxide.
