Global climate change must be made an issue of national security. We must act swiftly to reduce America’s carbon footprint in the world by passing legislation that caps emissions. However, any legislation will have little impact on the global environment if we do not work together with other global polluters. Fighting global warming can only be effective if it is a collective global effort.
As President, Senator Gravel will see that the U.S. launches and leads a massive global scientific effort to end energy dependence on oil and integrate the world’s scientific community to this task. A national public works program to rewire the country towards new energy technologies would create tens of thousands of new American jobs.
