"Addressing global climate change will require a sustained effort, over many generations. My approach recognizes that sustained economic growth is the solution, not the problem - because a nation that grows its economy is a nation that can afford investments in efficiency, new technology, and a cleaner environment." (White House)

President George W. Bush

The President and his staff agree that in order to increase our general knowledge on this subject, increases in scientific technology must be made. Sustained research will provide "the breakthoughs we need to dramatically reduce our emissions in the longer term." (White House).

President Bush recently acquired a ten year plan that aims to reduce the greenhouse gas intensity by nearly 20 percent. Bush's 2005 Plan also proposes approximately $5.8 billion dollars towards climate change programs. These programs include the CCSP, CCTP, Climate Change Research Initiative, Energy Star, Climate Wise, and many others.

Other efforts have been made by politicians and former Presidents to increase our nation's awareness on the subject of climate change. The 1997 Protocol was a stepping stone because numerous nations came together and rallied for a stop of global warming. President Clinton and Vice President Al Gore were very influencial in this international affair. However, the United States has not yet ratified this agreement.

Al Gore continues to spread knowledge on the climate change subject through his book and film, An Inconvenient Truth.
