520 | _a"Although the signs of global warming are becoming ever more prominent, casual observers of the media in the United States or Europe might easily conclude that U.S. citizens are in denial about climate change, refusing to take responsibility for controlling their emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) and the other greenhouse gases (GHGs) that cause global warming. Although it is true that the federal government remains stalemated on how to deal with climate change, the notion that no climate action is taking place in this country is erroneous. The most intriguing story is what has been happening in state legislatures, at civil council meetings, and in corporate boardrooms, as well as on college campuses, in community groups, and in a range of other local settings." (ISSUES IN SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY) This article reviews the "numerous climate action programs" throughout the United States that are "moving aggressively to reduce emissions of GHGs." | ||
