Too late??

The United States is probably one of the largest contributors to climate change and global warming. It also isnt signatory to the Kyoto protocol which binds countries down to targets to reduce their greenhouse gas emmissions because of the Bush administrations disbelief in global warming.
The cause seems to find support in the US, but it seems to be coming from people who dont really have true decision making power.
Is displacing the issue the answer??

FORMER PRESIDENT CLINTON LAUNCHES CLINTON CLIMATE INITIATIVE

Los Angeles, CA - President Clinton today launched the Clinton Climate Initiative (CCI), a Clinton Foundation initiative dedicated to making a difference in the fight against climate change in practical and measurable ways.

Urban areas are responsible for over 75% of all greenhouse gas emissions in the world. Therefore reducing energy use and greenhouse gas emissions in cities is fundamental to any effort to slow the pace of global warming.

The Clinton Climate Initiative will assist the large cities in the group in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and increasing energy efficiency by using the same business-oriented approach that has made other Clinton Foundation initiatives successful. The Clinton Foundation has made a major contribution to the global fight against HIV/AIDS over the past four years by building efficient and effective systems for procurement and distribution of medicine and tests, thus drastically reducing the cost of treatment. More recently, the Clinton Foundation used the same business-oriented approach to make strides against childhood obesity, working with major beverage manufactures to take high-sugar drinks out of the nation's schools.
