And Everyone Else needs to stop the foot-dragging, per their editorial board
Stop the foot-dragging on climate change
The world has very little time — perhaps 15 years — to make serious inroads on climate change, according to a leaked report from a United Nations panel. Current efforts, even among the most committed nations, fall short, and at the current rate of carbon emissions, the problem might grow too large to overcome with existing technology.
Yet the recalcitrance and myth-making about global warming continue — and become more prevalent — in the United States. Last week, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell moved to employ a little-known law to try to halt a key portion of the Obama administration’s climate plan. And at a Senate committee hearing on climate change, Republican senators delivered their usual speeches denying that a problem exists. There was recently cold weather in the Northeast, they argued. And New Orleans hasn’t seen particularly bad hurricanes during the last few years. If anything is to be done about climate change, several of them hinted or said outright, it must be accomplished without taking away jobs or driving up electricity bills.
Here’s a start: the LA Times could stop killing trees to publish its paper. They could stop using fossil fuels to disperse their paper. They could stop using air conditioning, heating, and make sure no fridges at the office have ice makers. All those on the editorial board could pledge to give up their own use of fossil fuels. Those are just a few measures to show that they really believe that “climate change” is a real issue, rather than a way of pushing far, far left political dogma.
It would be misleading to suggest that there will be no sacrifice involved in reducing carbon emissions.
Where’s the sacrifice from the LA Times and its editorial board? Heck, from any Warmists?
