THE US Government has dramatically changed its position on climate change warning that the planet will be destroyed unless economic growth is reined in.
In a plea to governments worldwide, US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice called on leaders to agree to a long-term emission-cutting goal, British newspaper The Financial Times reported.“It is our responsibility as global leaders to forge a new international consensus on how to solve climate change,” Ms Rice was quoted as saying.
“If we stay on our present path, we face an unacceptable choice: either we sacrifice global economic growth to secure the health of our planet or we sacrifice the health of our planet to continue with fossil-fuelled growth.”
