Climate Change
In a New York Times op-ed published over the weekend, Al Gore writes:
Winston Churchill is widely quoted as having said, “Sometimes doing your best is not good enough. Sometimes you must do what is required.” Now is that time. Public officials must rise to this challenge by doing what is required; and the public must demand that they do so–or must replace them.
The challenge that he refers to, of course, is climate change. And the time IS now. Please write your representatives at the federal, state, and local level and let them know how personal this issue is to you. Please don’t be discouraged by the enormity of what is in front of us all. Let’s think about what we can do as individuals to have a positive impact. Talk about it with friends and share ideas with each other. Heck, share ideas with us–we’ll post ‘em! As one of the leading emitters of GHGs, the world is looking to the United States to be a leader in finding a solution. Let’s put the positive back in leader and get started!
