[Dialogue] Global Warming Conference, Cancún, Mexico, begins today

[John Cock]

Since the 13th (since 1997) annual conference on climate change begins today
in Cancún, Mexico, what if we read this sensible op-ed, pray, and join with
local/state/regional sensitive-and-responsive types (as George Walters'
recent e-mail on "indicative/imperative" suggests).

>From the Op-Ed:

[The] crux of the matter 
 is that climate change is the most complicated
and challenging problem mankind has ever faced
. A top-down approach is not
effective [and obviously is not working; since 42% of global warming
emissions come from USA/China, we need to show the way.] A plan that works
from the bottom up could achieve the goal of capping global emissions.
Before more time runs out [the next generation will begin to feel the brunt
of global warming], let’s start building on the local American [and other
local national] success stories already in progress [which he cites]. ~Bruce
