NRDC: “We’re running out of time, but not out of solutions”
WASHINGTON–(ENEWSPF)–April 14, 2014 — The United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change yesterday issued its latest report with an urgent call to action.
The following is a statement by Frances Beinecke, president of the Natural Resources Defense Council:
“The IPCC is telling us in no uncertain terms that we are running out of time — but not out of solutions — if we are to avoid the worst effects of climate change. That requires decisive actions to curb carbon pollution — and an all-out race to embrace renewable sources of energy. History is calling.”
