“Climate change probably poses the most dangerous long-term risks to

our nation and to mankind as a whole. The scientific consensus that the

earth is warming, and that mankind’s activities are largely responsible for

this climate change is well-established, and is in most developed nations

accepted as scientific truth – though roughly half of Americans do not

accept this . . . The climate is already changing, and the impacts of these

changes are sufficient to threaten us and global security.

Mankind’s future will depend on what we do to restrain the release of

greenhouse gases. And there may be much less margin for warming

without catastrophic change than current models suggest.”

General Wesley Clark - GIC Ambassador General.
