KERRY AND OBAMA THINK THAT CLIMATE CHANGE IS THE CHALLENGE OF THEIR GENERATION

USPA NEWS - Secretary of State Kerry said, Climate Change is "the defining challenge of our generation", and the United States is committed to playing a leading role in the global effort to address it. Barack Obama, on his side, is committed to cutting U.S Carbon Pollution by 26-28% by 2025.

UNDER PRESIDENT OBAMA, AMERICA IS LEADING GLOBAL EFFORTS TO COMBAT CLIMATE CHANGE-----Secretary Kerry said, “President Obama has already put in place the most ambitious set of climate change actions that the United States has ever undertaken.  We´ve adopted standards to double the fuel efficiency of American cars and trucks, and we also have rules in the works to cut emissions from new and existing power plants. And the target we formalized few days ago, will only accelerate these reductions in the future.“------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In his statement, the Secretary also urged other nations to come forward with their own targets to help ensure we can reach a global agreement at the UN Climate Conference in Paris later this year, saying “We know there is no way the United States -- nor any other country -- could possibly address climate change alone. This is a global challenge, and an effective solution will require countries around the world to do their part to reduce emissions and bring about a global clean-energy future.  That´s the only way we´ll meet this challenge, and it´s the only way we´ll honor our shared responsibility to future generations.“ Source: www.state.gov, www.whitehouse.gov For more information see : http://go.usa.gov/3jcAY.
