Somerset County Commissioners Endorse Four Major Goals to Respond to Climate Change

From the Press Release and Facebook Page:

As a leader in addressing climate change, the Somerset County Commissioners unanimously endorsed four major goals to respond to our climate and called on all levels of government to take actions to reach those goals:

End Emissions

Cool Back Down

Minimize the Pain

Create a Fairer Environment“The devastating flooding in Manville, Bound Brook, Raritan, Somerville, Hillsborough, and other communities from Hurricanes Floyd, Irene and Ida shows that such storms are becoming more frequent and more severe. It’s clear the impacts of climate change are already here and affecting our economy, our homes, and even our lives,” said Commissioner Paul Drake. “It is well past time for all of us to have a conversation on how we will personally and collectively fight to reduce and reverse the impact of human-induced climate change.”
