</div>
<div><font color="#000000">MIT's Jule Charney chaired the first
National Academy of Sciences panel on the climate change threat in
1979. Now, a quarter century has passed by and the United States
has yet to face up to this most serious of all environmental
challenges, despite the fact that most of the research that has led
the rest of the advanced nations to act has been done here. How
could this happen? And now that it has, and now that we have
elected leaders in the Presidency and the Congress who prefer to
ignore the threat, what are we to do? </font></div>
