Speech Global Warming
Global
warming is one of the most serious challenges facing us today. To
protect the health and economic well-being of current and future
generations, we must reduce our emissions of heat-trapping gases by
using the technology, know-how, and practical solutions already at our
disposal.
Tropical deforestation is the largest source of
emissions for many developing countries, but slowing deforestation can't
solve the climate problem by itself. As forest-rich developing
countries step up to take responsibility for reducing their emissions,
all industrialized nations should not only support their efforts but,
most importantly, reduce their own emissions and lead efforts to avert
dangerous climate change. For years we
have heard so much about the causes of climate change, that we’ve missed
the fact that there are simple, practical solutions that can slow this
growing problem. Technologies exist today that can cut emissions of
heat-trapping gases and make a real difference…
