Washington greenhouse gas
emissions jump in recent tally
Associated Press
SEATTLE — A new
Washington
Depart-
ment of Ecology inven-
tory shows greenhouse gas
emissions spiked about 6.1
percent from 2012-2015,
due in part to increas-
ing fossil-fuel-generated
electricity and a booming
economy.
The state sent more
than 97 million metric tons
of greenhouses gases into
the atmosphere in 2015,
compared with 90 mil-
lion in 1990. The Seat-
tle Times reported that
although emissions are
rising, the 2015 fi gure rep-
resents progress from the
year 2000, when emis-
sions topped out at nearly
109 million metric tons.
The report quantifi ed

responsible for more than

report.
Washington

into law a plan to reduce
greenhouse gas emissions
to 1990 levels by the year
2020.
The partial govern-
ment shutdown is ele-
vating the threat of wild-
fi res in the West. That’s
the contention of a dozen
Democratic U.S. sena-
tors, including Oregon’s
Jeff Merkley and Ron
Wyden and Washington’s
Maria Cantwell and Patty
Murray.
Typically, federal agen-
cies hire and train fi re-
fi ghters during the winter
months so they are ready
for wildfi re season when
it hits in the summer. Pre-
vention work, like setting
prescribed fi re to remove
dense undergrowth in
forests, also begins in
the winter and continues
through spring.

day to President Donald
Trump, the senators wrote

training.
“The failure to reopen
the government puts peo-
ples’ lives at risk by
undermining their ability
to respond to wildfi res and
will only serve to delay
critical forest restoration
and safety projects,” they
wrote.
The shutdown is the
longest in U.S. govern-
ment history.
