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

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.

“A loss of hundreds of billions
of dollars in economic develop
ment will mean the loss of hun
dreds of thousands of jobs,”
Shambaugh said. "Additionally,
economists are stating American
homes and businesses should ex
pect a sharp increase in fuel, ener
gy and transportation costs.”

State Grange Convention passed a
resolution last month opposing the
climate treaty. Because the issue
has national implications, the re
solution, which had become offi

at the National Grange Conven

The resolution was also adopted
by the delegates at that session and
