The carbon emissions with which we humans pollute our atmosphere threaten to cause monumental environmental problems ("Climate breakthrough," Nov. 12). We here in the U.S. are among the worst offenders. Yet many in Congress are content to ignore this problem in pursuit of short term economic gains — a little like Nero fiddling while Rome burns.
As this Thanksgiving Day approaches, I am thankful that we have a president who is at least willing to address the problem in reaching out to China. God bless President Barack Obama!
