“On Earth Day I made a commitment to reduce our emissions of greenhouse gases to 1990 levels by the year 2000. And I asked for a blueprint on how to achieve this goal. In concert with all other nations, we simply must halt global warming. It is a threat to our health, to our ecology, and to our economy. I know that the precise magnitude and patterns of climate change cannot be fully predicted. But global warming clearly is a growing, long-term threat with profound consequences. And make no mistake about it, it will take decades to reverse.” KnowsYearsLongMadeEarthNationsGoalTermLevelsMistakeEconomyGrowingAchieveCommitmentConsequenceThreatProfoundClimateClimate ChangePatternsDecadesLong TermGlobal WarmingConcertsReverseEcologyPreciseEmissionsHaltMagnitudeEarth DayBlueprintsGreenhousesGreenhouse Gases Author:William J.

“If we think that we can somehow gain control of the US government, bring it under popular, enlightened progressive control, preserve a habitable climate, and rein in the dangers of nuclear and other warfare, then we should. However, if we think it's more likely that California can achieve those goals by secession, then we should go down that path. There's no question. It's an absolute moral imperative.” IfsThinkingShouldGovernmentGoalMoralPathAchieveDangerGainsAbsolutesClimateNuclearPreservesCaliforniaEnlightenedProgressiveWarfareImperativesReinsSecession Author:David Swanson
