These omissions included: (a) the
lack of recognition that dependence on natural gas as a bridge fuel for reducing the US carbon footprint raises several ethical questions, a matter reviewed here in
detail, (b) acknowledgment
of the US special responsibility for climate change for its unwillingness to take action on climate change for over 20 years since it ratified the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change in 1992, see, The World Waits In Vain For US Ethical Climate Change Leadership As the World Warms, and, (c) failing to communicate the extreme urgency
of quickly and significantly reducing ghg emissions in the next few years to give the world any hope
of avoiding dangerous climate change, see, On the
Extraordinary Urgency
of Nations Responding To Climate Change on the Basis
of Equity.
