I feel strongly that climate change mitigation is the single most important goal all agencies need to have right now. If we do not act swiftly and decisively NOW then all the other things we like to think are important will just fall by the wayside. We must reduce carbon combustion and encourage sustainable energy and we must plan for the effects of climate change that are already too far along to be immediately stopped. We must commit to bold action TODAY.	-
