The lawmakers — Republican Sens. Pat Gallivan and Kathy Marchione, as well as IDC members David Carlucci and Dave Valesky — are calling for
an overhaul of business regulations that echo Gov. Andrew Cuomo's State of the State speech last week.
Civil society, governments and
business communities must accept that if we do not change the way we live on this planet and do something to reduce drastically the carbon footprint and increase dramatically access to renewable energy now through tougher
regulations and an
overhaul of the fossil fuel industry (stop subsidizing the polluters and begin funding the human solutions to climate change), the planet will continue to change in devastating ways.
