Obamas oberster Wirtscahftsberater Paul Volcker im O-Ton:

"What may happen to the dollar, and what may happen to growth in China or whatever," he said, raising his voice, "pale into insignificance compared with the question of what happens to this planet over the next 30 or 40 years if no action is taken."

"The scientists seem pretty well agreed that (global warming) is still potentially manageable if we act decisively, beginning now into the next decade or so, by taking measures that are technically and economically feasible."
