<div>Will the new Moscow City Council act to reduce Moscow's contribution of anthropogenic greenhouse gases, or at least address the issue publicly, which would help to foster more public awareness and action? Info below on historic legislation before the US Congress to regulate anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions, with a quote from Senator Lieberman, and web links to info on other city councils efforts to address this issue, at the bottom:

<div>On its own, the America's Climate Security Act (ACSA, S. 2191) is projected to reduce total U.S. greenhouse-gas emissions by as much as 19% below the 2005 level (4% below the 1990 level) in 2020 and by as much as 63% below the 2005 level in 2050. Lieberman and Warner presented their new bill as the core of a new federal program that Congress should pass to avert catastrophic global climate change while enhancing America's energy security.
<br><br>"With all the irrefutable evidence we now have corroborating that climate change is real, dangerous, and proceeding faster than many scientists predicted, this is the year for Congress to move this critical legislation," said Lieberman. "If we fail to start substantially reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the next couple of years, we risk bequeathing a diminished world to our grandchildren. Insect-borne diseases such as malaria will spike as tropical ecosystems expand; hotter air will exacerbate the pollution that sends children to the hospital with asthma attacks; food insecurity from shifting agricultural zones will spark border wars; and storms and coastal flooding from sea-level rise will cause mortality and dislocation."
