Denver Colorado echo opinion about Global Warming

The DenverPost.com letter to the editor:

Rise to global warming challenge

Re: “… Global temps will rise 7 degrees by 2100,” (Sept. 29 news story)

An environmental impact statement by the Trump administration was reported to conclude that the world’s average temperature will rise by seven degrees Fahrenheit by the end of the 21st century due to human activity.

Rather than calling for measures to address this finding, the Trump administration says that the problem is too big for the U.S. to fix.

American greatness was never measured by its Gross Domestic Product or the unemployment rate. Rather, greatness has been shown when Americans rose to meet the challenges this country faced with unparalleled courage, intelligence and discipline to bear. It was never demonstrated by surrendering to a challenge.
