Governor's Commission to address Global Warming

Gov. Beebe today announced 17 appointments to the new Governor's Commission on Global Warming. Created by Act 696 of the 86th General Assembly, the Commission will study the issues and potential impact of global warming in Arkansas, and work with state agencies to reduce contaminants that contribute to global warming.

"Global warming is a growing concern that requires study and action on both state and federal levels," Beebe said. "This commission will give Arkansans our own perspective on the scope and potential impact of this phenomenon and recommend the best steps to take to protect ourselves, our environment and our economy for the future."

There are 21 Commission members, 17 of whom are appointed by the Governor. The establishing law requires representation from different areas of society and industry.
