It’s time for American leaders Until the threat of climate change wake for the good of the planet and Business

The pandemic Crown has sold out his welcome on Earth. Try to find someone who is not sick and tired of working out of the basement, wearing a mask, push your elbows in greeting or simply care of herself or her family live badly. And these problems pale in comparison to the pain, many have suffered from an illness or the loss of loved ones. When we get the pandemic and had the power, he would see to prevent it, would obviously have. If we had this power, but sitting on our hands, as millions became ill and died, inaction would be inexcusable. There is another problem we know is that we have the power of guidance, and yet we like to fight often little or not do it again and again. I’m talking about climate change. Left unchecked, the effects of climate change only change our world as we know it-redesign our coasts and cities that lie on them, species extinction, devastating agriculture and causing hunger, our economy and the devastating impact the health of all accelerate. Although often regarded as a hot potato in politics, one of the largest opposition points to combat climate change is the cost. How can a world whose transport and energy systems are deeply rooted afford hydrocarbons during combustion and conversion, scrapping cleaner forms of energy to others? I go there from another direction, but as we can not afford to? Yes, the costs that threaten human life and nature is paramount and about the immediate and sustained efforts for long-term measures. For those who care about the economy and the fight against climate change, consider this: Goldman Sachs recently estimated that this is only done in the next 10 years of new investment in renewable energy will be $16 Katherine. If this is intended to help even the United States consider global warming below 2 ° C would create between $1 and $2 Katherine Katherine annual investment in renewable energy. By the time the pandemic a powerful blow to the global economy of the world resolved, these types must be numbers music to our ears. Why should we not embrace the huge economic benefits and create jobs by investing in the next generation of transport and renewable energy? As a Republican governor of the seventh largest country and a top 25 global economy, I have energy Pride champion and environmental policy was that Ohio reduce its carbon dioxide emissions between 2005 and almost 30 percent have helped 2014 all creating strong jobs, while achieving and even the management of large new investments in natural gas from shale to regulations that have exceeded the federal government. Our approach was balanced, reasonable and productive to promote a focus on energy investments, protecting public health and the environment and the conservation of renewable energy standards Ohio. Thanks to state support for renewable energy, which, like many technology companies are using renewable energy obligation thousands of new jobs have been created by companies like Amazon and Facebook. The time for people to come to understand the need to roll-boost good stewards of our environment and be able to appreciate the value of a global economic her sleeves and push for the transition to renewable energy and clean transport. traditional renewable energy sources such as solar and wind power have stood the test of time and earn more investment and use. clean natural gas may be the bridge as we do more renewable energy and the final breakdown of high carbon intensity fuels. We also need to support research on new green energy technologies and bring them to market. I joined with former Secretary of State John Kerry and former California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger behind the effort, “World War Zero” called to help bring together a group of unlikely allies – Democrats, Republicans and independents, scientists, leaders military, entrepreneurs, diplomats mobilize, talk and work together to combat climate change -, entertainers, and ordinary people from all walks of life. And in order to find new ways to help people to appreciate the need to solve the problem. to see at a time of global recession, the economic benefits of investing in renewable energy, can not be an angle that first comes to mind. But the difficult problems deserve approaches and demand that we seize the opportunities when they present themselves as different now. Just as America has helped shift the war in 1940 to end the Great Depression, the production of revolution and creation of global employment announced by the transition to clean energy in its employment force critical hits by two dragons in one time: climate change and the economic crisis. Let your voice be heard and to understand who causes us not waste this opportunity.
