Wisconsin — a state full of cow-emitted methane — is proposing legislation to make the state the midwest’s front-runner in globalwarming awareness2007 action.

Governor Jim Doyle has proposed a globalwarming task force to be formed in 2007. The assembly bill demands action and awareness of greenhouse gas emissions, and looks for a significant decrease in globalwarming contribution from state residents and businesses. It is modelled after a California law with similar goals.

Not all Wisconsin legislators are on board to vote for the globalwarming awareness bill:

“I am not one of those who is rushing to join the bandwagon of accepting as indisputable fact that we have man-made global warming that puts the planet in jeopardy,” Ziegelbauer said. “I think that’s grossly overstated and most importantly, far from scientifically decided.

Ziegelbauer promotes nuclear energy as an alternative to coal. Shockingly, he also proposes new plants be built in his legislative district.

Watching the progress of this Wisconsin bill may be very telling of the ongoing progress of the globalwarming awareness2007 movement in shaping national globalwarming policy.
