I am a member of Earth Ministry and attend a church that has earned the designation of Energy Star Congregation. We are committed to responsible stewardship of the earth and its resources and acknowledge the grave threat of climate disruption/global warming related to the burning of fossil fuels. The Tongue River Railroad Company proposal to transport 20 million tons of coal per year for export to China would result in 35 million tons of carbon dioxide being released into the atmosphere when the coal is burned The diesel fuel used to move the coal would emit 700,000 tons more. Additionally the door would be opened to expanded mining operations and even more emissions. Damaging the natural systems that sustain us is wrong. Jeopardizing our children's future is wrong. I ask you to include climate disruption/global warming impacts in the EIS. Thank you.
