| Extensive scientific evidence demonstrates that global warming is real, that it is affecting us now, and that human activities—particularly the burning of fossil fuels—are the primary cause. | |

| The average temperature in cities across Florida, including Jacksonville, Gainesville, Miami, Tampa and West Palm Beach, increased more than 0.5° F above average in 2006, according to a new report released today by Environment Florida. The report comes less than one week after Governor Crist signed a series of executive orders aimed at dramatically reducing Florida’s global warming pollution. | |

| Energy companies are planning to build over 150 coal-fired power plants, including six in Florida, in locations across the United States, most of them powered by dirty, last-generation technologies that would dramatically increase global warming emissions and pose energy security and economic problems. | |

| Florida does not need any new coal-?red power plants to have a reliable electricity supply. Instead, the state’s growing need for electricity can be met through a combination of energy ef?ciency measures and renewable energy technologies. | |

| The early effects of global warming are already evident across the United States and worldwide. The year 2005 was the warmest on record. Left unchecked, temperatures will continue to rise, and the effects of global warming will become more severe. | |

| This report examines trends in U.S. global warming pollution nationally and by state, including Florida, and concludes that failure to limit emissions nationwide has allowed global warming pollution to grow out of control. | |

| Scientists have said for years that global warming was “loading the dice” when it comes to increasing the frequency of severe storms, and a new Environment Florida report makes it clear that the Sarasota-Bradenton area is already experiencing extreme downpours much more frequently. Specifically, this new report finds that storms with heavy rainfall are now 95% percent more frequent in the Sarasota-Bradenton area than they were 60 years ago. | |

| To examine how these recent temperature patterns compare with temperatures over the last 30 years, Environment Florida’s researchers analyzed temperature data from 255 major weather stations in all 50 states and Washington, DC for the years 2000-2005 and the first six months of 2006. This recent data was compared to “normal” temperatures for the three decades spanning 1971-2000. | |

| The growing threat of global warming, air and water pollution, and rising energy costs are a few of the many problems that result from our current over-reliance on petroleum-based transportation fuels. Alternative transportation fuels, in conjunction with an array of other energy-related strategies, have the potential to help mitigate these problems—if public policy prioritizes those fuels that can deliver the greatest benefit for the environment and the American people. | |
