Without urgent action to curb climate change, the world will be increasingly vulnerable to environmental crises and destructive storms like Hurricane Floyd, which is now headed for the East Coast of the U.S., Pres. Clinton said today in New Zealand during a speech on global warming. He warned that sea levels are likely to rise and diseases like malaria are likely to spread. He also emphasized that economic growth doesn’t have to depend on the burning of fossil fuels. During his speech, Clinton announced the release of classified satellite images of Antarctica that could help scientists track climate changes.
