Last year was the hottest year on Earth since official
record-keeping started in 1880.
All of the 10 warmest years have occurred since 1997.
It was true yesterday, and it’s true today: human beings,
burning fossil fuels, are cooking the planet and we’re going to pay for it even
if serious efforts to slow down global warming would start tomorrow.
Let’s be blunt: our children and our grandchildren are
going to pay for it.
We need a carbon tax.
We need to eliminate all government tax breaks for companies
that produce and use fossil fuels.
We need more private and government work to develop
alternative sources of energy.
