This was clipped from the 1984 US Government film, The Climate Factor, produced by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and recently made available at the Internet Archives. For more information about an exciting and innovative approach to dealing with global warming , go to the website of the Blue Green Alliance at: www.bluegreenalliance.org . The Blue Green Alliance (BGA) is a strategic initiative led by the United Steelworkers and Sierra Club and including many other “blue” (blue collar/labor) and “green” (environmental) partners. The alliance focuses on three key issues: Global Warming and Clean Energy; Fair Trade; and Reducing Toxics. The goals of the BGA are to: heighten public awareness about the job-creating potential of solutions to global warming; use existing economic development tools to expand investment in clean energy and green chemistry; accelerate green building, energy efficient retrofits, and related spin-off industries; create more investments in green jobs, including those related to fuel-efficient vehicles; and reform trade agreements so they include binding labor rights and environmental standards.
