Global Warming Is a Threat

Summary


In the Sunday editorial "Globaloney," it is inappropriate to criticize America's Climate Security Act, considering that the United States takes so little action against global warming. How can the author assume that the measures in the act will "at best have a negligible impact on the world's rising greenhouse-gas emission levels," without even citing any relevant data to support this statement?

Ranking among the richest economies, the United States should assume, together with European Union members, the leadership of the fight against global warming. Most developed countries already have introduced legislation requiring companies to reduce their greenhouse-gas emissions and have launched pollution-credit markets. Instead of focusing on its own priorities, the American administration should begin to target wider issues. Our current economic worries will seem of little relevance when our planet proves to be an almost impossible place to live.
