President Clinton discusses
the Administration's climate change initiatives prior to taping his Earth Day
2000 radio address.
"The greatest environmental challenge of
the new century is global warming…If we fail to reduce the emission of
greenhouse gases, deadly heat waves and droughts will become more frequent,
coastal areas will flood, and economies will be disrupted. That is going to
happen, unless we act. Many people…still believe you cannot cut greenhouse
gas emissions without slowing economic growth. In the Industrial Age that may
well have been true. But in this digital economy, it is not true anymore. New
technologies make it possible to cut harmful emissions and provide even more
growth."
-- President Bill Clinton,
State of the Union Address, January 27, 2000 |
