Government must deal with greenhouse gases



In 2001, President Bush said "Our country, the United States is the world's largest emitter of manmade greenhouse gases."

In 2005, the Senate rejected a measure calling for mandatory limits on emissions linked to global warming.

In 2007, the US Supreme court said the government must deal with greenhouse gases.

The US Supreme Court ruled on april 2nd 2007, that the Environmental Protection Agency must consider greenhouse gases as pollutants, in a blow to the White House.

It's about time there is an acknowledgement of global warming by the government. Whether or not global warming can be proven beyond a reasonable doubt remains yet to be seen; but we should at least be considering the greenhouse pollutants as a problem that affects the entire planet earth. I would rather be right, and have a future for generations to come, then to be wrong and have no chance of survival for generations that would have come.
