“I have no problem with a war for oil-if we accompany it with a real program for energy conservation. But when we tell the world we couldn't care less about climate change, that we feel entitled to drive whatever big cars we feel like, that we feel entitled to consume however much oil we like, the message we send is that a war for oil in the gulf is not a war to protect the world's right to economic survival-but our right to indulge. Now that will be seen as immoral.” IfsWorldFeelsWarRealProblemBigsCareEnergyEconomicCarProtectMessagesSurvivalProgramClimateClimate ChangeOilAlternativesEntitledConservationImmoralNo ProblemIndulgeAccompanyEnergy ConservationBig Cars Author:Thomas Friedman
“The United States is strongly committed to the IPCC process of international cooperation on global climate change. We consider it vital that the community of nations be drawn together in an orderly, disciplined, rational way to review the history of our global environment, to assess the potential for future climate change, and to develop effective programs. The state of the science, the social and economic impacts, and the appropriate strategies all are crucial components to a global resolution. The stakes here are very high; the consequences, very significant.” WayStatesTogetherNationsSocialProcessCommunityUnitedUnited StatesEnvironmentEconomicConsequenceProgramImpactStrategyClimateClimate ChangeInternationalCommittedSignificantRationalAppropriateResolutionReviewsCooperationCrucialStakesComponentsOrderlyInternational CooperationDrawn Together Author:George H.

“I'm the one candidate that can really stand up for what it is that the American people are really clamoring for. And that means jobs, an emergency jobs program.

“That's why we call for a New Deal prototype. Which means we are creating the jobs - nationally funded program but locally controlled - with guidelines to achieve 100% clean renewable energy through wind, water and sun by 2030. Also to create a sustainable food system, since this is a major portion of climate emissions, and also calling for public transportation as well as infrastructure restoration including in that ecosystem restoration.” WellsMeanJobsEnergyWaterDealsSunAchieveWindCallingCreatingMajorsProgramCleanClimateIncludingControlledPortionsInfrastructureRestorationTransportationEmissionsEcosystemsRenewable EnergyGuidelinesPrototypeNew DealPublic Transportation Author:Jill Stein
