Confronting Climate Change in the Midwest:  Michigan.  (Union of Concerned Scientists, June 2009)
New research summarized here projects significant consequences for Michigan as soon as the next few decades, increasing in severity into the middle and end of this century. This report considers these consequences in terms of three time frames: 2010–2039 (“the next few decades”), 2040–2069 (“mid-century”), and 2070–2099 (“toward the end of the century”). We compare these periods with the climate in Michigan during 1961–1990 (“the historical baseline").

No Friend to the Environment dishonor roll.

Alabama Congressional delegation:  U.S. House of Representatives.   (Their anti-environmentalism can be summed up in one word:  coal.  Which is odd, since Alabama contributes a mere 1.9% of U.S. production, good enough for an overall ranking of 13.  The state's peak year of production:  1990)  
Alaska Congressional delegation:  U.S. House of Representatives
