FROM RIO TO RUIN?
(2 of 2)
It would be nice if President Clinton would speak out at least as forcefully as an oil baron on the subject of climate change. Instead, in his closing speech at the U.N., Clinton almost plaintively said he could not do anything until Americans and the Congress were convinced that climate change was "real and imminent." To that end, he has promised to hold a conference later this year to highlight the problem. Perhaps then we will see whether he is willing to be as forceful on the issue of greenhouse gases as he was last week on the issue of smog.
