| Federal
policy over the past century has largely failed to promote an energy system based
on safe, secure, economically affordable, and environmentally benign energy sources.
The tax code, budget appropriations, and regulatory processes overwhelmingly have
been used to subsidize dependence on fossil fuels and nuclear power. The result:
increased sickness and premature deaths, depleted family budgets, acid rain destruction
of lakes, forests, and crops, oil spill contamination, polluted rivers and loss
of aquatic species and the long-term peril of climate change and radioactive waste
dumps–not to mention a dependency on external energy supplies.

"All across the world,
...increasingly dangerous weather patterns and devastating storms are abruptly
putting an end to the long-running debate over whether or not climate change is
real. Not only is it real, it's here, and its effects are giving rise to a frighteningly
new global phenomenon: the man-made natural disaster. "

Obama

facing our planet — it is one of our greatest challenges
of any kind.
-- Barack
Obama
This
is the moment when we must come together to save this
planet. Let us resolve that we will not leave our
children a world where the oceans rise and famine
spreads and terrible storms devastate our lands. Barack

climate change is real and we have a limited time to change our behavior or live
with the consequences. We can all help by making small changes in our lives to
letting our voice be heard by our governing bodies. As has always been the case
in this country, if the people demand change, it will come.
-- Kyra
Sedgwick
Global climate
change is real. The legislative branch of our government is our last line of defense
against pollution which is why I am so grateful to have the NRDC making our voice
heard.

will be no polar ice by 2060...Somewhere along that path, the polar bear drops
out."

If we are to
have the public conversations essential to taking on serious dilemmas from climate
change to criminal justice reform, we need forums for those conversations. The
media can facilitate the conversations or shut them down. They can open up or
constrain our beliefs about what is possible, what is desirable, who is deserving,
and which perspectives are legitimate.

It is upsetting that many people don’t seem to observe what’s happening to the
environment, what’s happening in terms of global warming, the loss of habitats
and wild things.
-- Joanne Woodward |
