LAS VEGAS, Nevada (WNB) - Hillary Clinton told an audience at Harry Reid's (RTRD-NV) annual energy conference Thursday that climate change is currently the most dire threat facing the world.
An excerpt from Clinton's address:
Climate change is the most consequential, urgent, sweeping collection of challenges we face. It is real, it is on the move, and people and animals are suffering.
We, as a people, can no longer sit idly by while hundreds of polar bears are cast adrift, thousands of people are tortured and beheaded, tens of thousands desperately and illegally enter our country, hundreds of innocent young girls are kidnapped and abused, commercial airliners full of passengers simply vanish, and unarmed youths are gunned down in the streets because of the color of their skin.
We must confront this challenge or perish, and it all starts with dimming that lamp, riding that bicycle, or skipping that shower. Working together, we can defeat climate change and save our world.
Thank you and may God bless America.
