At Senate, Levin urges greenhouse legislation 4.04.08
WASHINGTON, D.C. — In testimony before a Senate panel Thursday, University President Richard Levin called on the federal government to enact legislation limiting greenhouse gas emissions.
“Our future depends on it,” he said.
The hearing came as the Senate prepares to begin debate on an unprecedented bill that would establish limits on greenhouse gas emissions, a move resoundingly endorsed by Levin and the two other university chancellors who joined him here in front of the Environment and Public Works Committee, which approved the bill in December.
“There’s no doubt,” Levin said in opening his remarks, “that we have a problem.”
