[Dialogue] [Oe List ...] Global Warming Conference, Cancún, Mexico, begins today

[Jeanette Stanfield]

If you are interested in seeing report on Copenhagen accord that gives a different perspective than mainstream media see:  www.americanprogress.org/issues/2010/03/emissions_pledge.html

For me we need local/ global progress and global/ local simultaneously.

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 Usher, “On Global Warming, Start Small,” nytimes.com, 11/27/10 http://www.nytimes.com/2010/11/28/opinion/28usher.html?_r=1&hp
