"Climate
change is very real, very serious and we have
a moral obligation to address it NOW!
"The consequences of
not addressing this issue are totally unacceptable.
The economic consequences to America not taking
the lead are also unacceptable. The threat to
our national security, our economy over the
long-term, and peace and stability in the world
are too great to ignore."
Frankie Robbins
Frankie Robbins understands
why America must take the lead in responding
to climate change. First, he believes we have
a clear, unmistakable moral obligation as stewards
of God's creation.
He has seen the reports of
the polar ice caps melting at a much faster
rate than predicted by the computer models used
by the scientists on the Intergovernmental Panel
on Climate Change (IPCC). More recent observations
and research indicate the planet almost certainly
faces a greater and more imminent threat even
than that laid out in the latest IPCC reports.
He recognizes there are tremendous
long lasting economic dividends with an economy
built on addressing both climate change and
energy independence. He knows American leadership
in science and technology is our strength and
that we must play to our strength by taking
the lead in research, development and deployment
of the big industry of the future - clean energy
and clean technology. Frankie believes in the
creativity, resourcefulness, ingenuity, and
can-do attitude of Americans. He realizes that
if we don't take the lead, other countries will.
And, in that instance, the American economy
will bear the negative consequences.
Robbins has observed that even
the global warming deniers and naysayers have
had to admit the planet is warming. But, by
continuing to deny that green house gas emissions
are a major contributing factor, 1) they deny
the current best science; 2) they deny the economic
potential of American science and technology
taking the lead to develop clean energy; and,
3) they demonstrate their lack of confidence
in the ability of American know how, brain power,
and can-do attitude to find solutions. Robbins
says, "Shame on them on all three counts!"
Frankie Robbins is ready to
provide the bold leadership needed in Congress
to get America Back on Track to lead
the world in addressing climate change and to
meet our moral obligations as stewards of God's
creation.
