“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.

“I would distinguish between Donald Trump and the United States of America. Although he is president, he does not speak for the country on the climate change, and that was vividly illustrated in the aftermath of his speech pulling the US out of the Paris Agreement. Almost immediately, not only did the rest of the world double down on its commitments, but also here in this country, governors, mayors, business leaders, they said, we're still in the Paris Agreement, and they're doubling down.
