The Senate Republican Policy Committee will take a closer look at effects of climate change disruption in Pennsylvania during a public workshop on May 1 in Harrisburg.
The workshop is being held at the request of Sen. Scott Martin (R-Lancaster).
“I believe that this will be an interesting conversation,” said David G. Argall (R-Schuylkill), Committee Chair. “We want to have a civil conversation where we can all sit down, discuss the real facts on this issue and have a meaningful conversation as to where Pennsylvania stands in controlling its emissions as compared to other states while also discussing the larger picture of how the United States compares in controlling its emissions compared to other countries.”
“It is essential for lawmakers to understand all of the facts related to climate change so we can make decisions based on reality – not rhetoric,” said Sen. Martin. “I look forward to hearing the perspectives of experts on both sides of this issue. The results should serve as a guide for members of the General Assembly in determining what actions, if any, are necessary to address this issue.”
The meeting will be held in Room 8-EA East Wing of the Capitol from 8:30 to 10:30 a.m. Click Here to watch the roundtable online.
