[Junk] Scientists Applaud Climate Change Call to Action

WASHINGTON, Feb. 13, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The following statement is attributable to American Geophysical Union (AGU) executive director/CEO Christine McEntee:

"President Obama's continued commitment to addressing climate change and its impacts on our lives and livelihoods is an important step in the right direction for the country. He called on Congress to take action. I say that call to action should extend to the business community and other key stakeholder groups. Now is the time to focus on building universal bipartisan collaboration and support. Climate change is having an impact on businesses and families in every state in the country. Addressing it does not have to come at the expense of economic prosperity. Taking action can protect public safety and national security and improve our children's future, while simultaneously fostering innovation and opening new avenues of opportunity for business growth and development."
