US Senators urge Bush to act on climate change
New York - Forty US senators sent a letter to President Bush on 29 June, urging him to "provide leadership" on climate change, and warning that the US could lose its competitive edge in a "carbon conscious" world.
A year ago, the Senate passed a resolution recognising the need for a mandatory federal programme to reverse global warming, the letter notes. "Today, we are writing to express our continuing concern about the threats posed by global warming and our support for a mandatory programme that would reduce emissions from today's levels within 10 years," it states.
