Obama's Statement on Climate Change:
“We will respond to the threat of climate change, knowing that the failure to do so would betray our children and future generations,” Obama said. “Some may still deny the overwhelming judgment of science, but none can avoid the devastating impact of raging fires, and crippling drought, and more powerful storms. The path towards sustainable energy sources will be long and sometimes difficult. But American cannot resist this transition—we must lead it. We cannot cede to other nations the technology that will power new jobs and new industries—we must claim its promise. That’s how we will maintain our economic vitality and our national treasure—our forests and waterways, our crop lands and snow-capped peaks. That is how we will preserve our planet, commanded to our care by God.”

Pretty well said, however we'll see how he plans on pursueing this. So far Obama has been a lot of talk and little action.
ReplyDeleteI agree, but he has had a lot more important things to deal with lately from natural disasters to school shootings and gun control...there is only so much time in the day. I'm just glad he mentioned it as something he is concerned about! :-)
