North Carolina addresses global warming

In this mention

North Carolina is poised to become the first southeastern state to address climate change through the North Carolina Global Warming Act, which would establish a 32-member commission to study global warming's effects. Stephen A. Smith, executive director of the Southern Alliance for Clean Energy, emphasizes the urgency of coastal communities responding to the threat of rising sea levels and warming oceans, particularly for the Outer Banks.

There is nothing good from global warming that's going to happen to the Outer Banks of North Carolina. It is imperative that people on the coast stand up and pay attention to this issue.

Stephen A. Smith
