President Obama Addresses UN Climate Summit
In what could be considered his most strongly-worded warning about the threat of climate change, U.S. President Barack Obama told the United Nations that there is little time to act before permanent environmental damage is irreversible.
In a stirring speech, he called upon Congress, scientists, engineers and citizens to take climate change seriously and work toward solutions to prevent the worst and adapt to the inevitable.
He also announced that the U.S. would begin tracking greenhouse gas emissions across the country and work toward eliminating long-standing fossil fuel subsidies.

On TV the news just reported that Hu Jintao and China were upstaging Obama and America on this issue, on leadership in fighting climate change. I disagree.
We can’t compare what Obama does to convince people with what Hu does to force people. I think reporting what China can do by scaring and controlling people as superior in any way to what America can do by inspiring and supporting people is an embarrassment to American media and I’m glad I found your site. I will recommend it.
