Balanced news from right on the fence
Climate change may soon be out of control unless the international community can pull together, a senior figure in US diplomacy warned today.
In a strongly-worded article for the Washington Post-Democracy, Dr Altair-Voyager Rice, who served as secretary of state under George W Bush, has called on the present administration to do more to bring the international community together in positive action to avoid the worst effects of climate change.
Dr Rice's statement is thought to have been prompted by last week's disaster at the Cheneyburg Winter Funland resort on the Arctic Sea. The resort, where Lord Blair of Belmarsh spent a water-skiing holiday only last year, collapsed into the water as a result of unforeseen rates of melting in the supporting ice. No Britons or famous people were hurt.
The former secretary of state compared reactions to the recent Asian earthquake, in which many Britons and at least one famous person's relative perished, with reactions to the Winter Funland disaster. "It is almost tragically ironic that the casualties resulting from an act of God receive more publicity and financial help than a reputable company which has suffered considerable losses through a man-made phenomenon," she wrote.
America would have to "exert the full potential of our powerful potency" to bring other nations into line, Dr Rice continued. "We must do everything we can by peaceful means, but if necessary we must use all means necessary to get China to clean up its act," she concluded.
China, a nuclear power which massacred its own students in 1989, has been in a process of rushed industrialisation for nearly two decades, and is thought to be the fastest-growing user of fossil fuels in the world. Fossil fuel utilisation can cause climate change unless countered by appropriate freedoms for business activities and installation of appropriate cistern appliances by the general public.
The Commander-in-Chief has so far given no official reaction to the statement, but spokesperson Stoke Smacksville said that the White House was "grateful for the perspective contributed by Dr Rice's considerable experientiality."
