“Addressing climate risk is not a distraction from solving our
economic problems. My friends, addressing climate risk
means re-tooling our world—it means that every factory and
power plant, every home and office, every rail line and
highway, every vehicle, locomotive and plane, every school and
hospital, must be modernized, upgraded, renovated or replaced
with something cleaner, more efficient, less wasteful.”
— Richard Trumka, President, AFL/CIO, January 12, 2012
