HARRISBURG (Centre Co.) The Pennsylvania State Grange recently sent a letter to President Bill Clinton and Pennsylvania's congressional leaders voicing the organization’s opposition to the Global Climate Treaty proposal. ‘The Grange believes that the treaty, if ratified, will have severe consequences for United States citizens,’’ Brenda Shambaugh, Pennsylvania State Grange legis lative director, said. “The United States and a few other countries would be required to shoulder the burden of reducing greenhouse gas emissions while other devel oping nations would not have to meet those requirements. While we are not opposed to reducing emissions, we believe all nations should be equally responsible for there to be any substantial world wide reductions.” Shambaugh said President Clinton is scheduled to travel to Japan next month for a summit on the Global Climate Treaty. Under the proposal, Shambaugh said the U.S. would be required to lower energy use by more than 20 per cent, but that 132 out of 166 coun tries could be exempt from the treaty. “About half of the current emis sions come from developing coun tries that are now exempt from the FARM EQUIPMENT 831 S.

Grange Responds To Global Climate Treaty Proposal proposed treaty,” Shambaugh said. “As these countries continue to grow, their emissions will be proportionally higher and will off set reductions being made by other nations like the United States.” Shambaugh said the proposal also bodes badly for America’s economic development. Sham baugh said it is estimated that electricity costs would rise more than 20 percent, natural gas prices would increase more than 45 per cent, and gasoline would jump tty SO cents a gallon.
