Clinton: Answer to global warmin
lies in energy-efficient technolog
WASHINGTON (AP) — Presi
dent Clinton said Monday the dan
ger of global warming is real but
higher energy taxes to fight it “won’t
pass muster with the American
people” and probably would doom
an anti-pollution treaty.
Clinton, at a White House con
ference, said the United States
must commit to steps to control
global releases of heat-trapping
gases. But he said the answer lies
in promoting new energy-efficient
technologies — and not imposing
steep energy price increases to en
courage efficiency.
“If all we do is raise the price of
coal and oil... it won’t pass muster
with the American people,” said Clin
ton. Any treaty to curb greenhouse
gases by forcing higher energy costs
would be “a grand gesture” likely to
fail a ratification vote by the Senate.
Some economists and labor
leaders, meanwhile, urged cau
tion, fearing the new carbon emis
sion cuts would hurt U.S. indus
tries and lead to jobs being sent
overseas to countries facing less
stringent requirements.
“The economic stakes for the
United States are enormous. It is es
sential that we do whatever we do
carefully,” AFL-CIO President John
Sweeney said during a panel dis
cussion on economics, wrapping
Clinton
up the daylong conference.
Deputy Treasury Secretary Larry
Summers, who in internal adminis
tration debates has urged a go-slow
approach, said any U.S. program
should include
flexible programs
to ease the transi
tion for U.S. indus
tries and reduce
economic costs.
Clinton said he
is “completely
persuaded” by the
argument that
manmade pollu
tion from burning
fossil fuels will cause a dangerous
warming of the planet if not
checked. Capping such pollution is
essential “to avoid leaving our chil
dren and grandchildren with a cat
astrophe,” the president said.
Clinton also said “a global agree
ment must take into account devel
oping nations” but that uncertainty
about the role of such countries as
China and India is “not an excuse for
us to do nothing.”
Later, Secretary of State Madeleine
Albright said the United States would
seek a global agreement that is fair to
such developing countries as China,
which has said it would not commit to
pollution controls until developing
countries have acted.

University. "Although we donotk
everything, what we do knowisn
