Considering Global Warming In Environmental Review of New Projects
As of September 1, 2007 King County, Washington is "requiring County agencies to consider climate change impacts as part of their project review under Washington's State Environmental Policy Act ("SEPA")." http://www.metrokc.gov/exec/news/2007/pdf/climateimpacts.pdf
In short, King County is on the leading edge of local governments starting to mandate consideration of global warming as part of development projects. A good, in depth article on the King County legislation is available from the Marten Law Group. http://www.martenlaw.com/news/?20070801-climate-sepa-review
