The world can't have a global solution to climate change with U.S. action alone; and the world can't have a global solution without U.S. action.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Global challenges also require global solutions, and few indeed are the situations in which the United States or any other country can act completely alone.
The environmental crisis is a global problem, and only global action will resolve it.
Global climate change has a profound impact on the survival and development of mankind. It is a major challenge facing all countries.
It's true that America can't solve every problem, but I don't know of any major problem in the world that can be solved without us.
In China we need to do our own part to try to combat global climate change.
We unfortunately already live on a planet where the climate has changed and will continue to change no matter what we do now. We're playing a game of making the problem less bad rather than preventing it.
When it comes to dealing with the world's climate and energy challenges, I have a simple rule: change America, change the world.
Nature is not simply a technical or economical resource, and human beings are not mere numbers. To suggest that one can somehow align all the squabbling institutions of science, environmental management, government and diplomacy in an alliance of convenience to regulate the global climate seems to me optimistic.
If you really accept that global warming puts the world at risk, then you think you would be open to any solution that could undo it.
I don't think we can do anything about controlling what our climate is.
