Your performance in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and increasing energy efficiency is inspiring. Each and every one of you should be congratulated for helping address the global problem of climate change. I wish you well in maintaining and even exceeding these excellent standards. We know that there are serious environmental and economic risks to ignoring climate change. There is compelling scientific evidence that the 20th century has been the warmest in 600 years, and that the 1980s and 90s have been the warmest decades ever recorded.
