Frank Rush commented on Whose responsibility is global warming? on February 23, 2008, 9:38 PM
Of course it important that the country's political leaders initiate and follow through with any positive action on global warming. But when we talk global, we mean all the countries on the globe. Will it work if say only 50% of the big energy users are onboard. If we in the U.S. do this it will make the cost of producing products higher. If China does not participate, their products will be cheaper and hurt American industry and American workers and the American economy. The main idea should be, not that U.S. do something about global war, but that all member of the globe take equal responsibility. How to do this is a major diplomatic problem that has to be solved successfully. This is the dialogue that this Big Think should encourage. I would like to see practical ideas that would make all countries

I agree with the premise stated as to how important it is to understand the courage, initiative and intelligence of these guys, and how lucky we are that they laid down a well though out plan that was accepted as a guide for getting this country running.I felt that it was so meaningful that I just finished figuring how to send the video by email to my grandson who is just starting American History in high school.There is an extra dimension to a video like this that does not come across if we just read a copy of the text. The tone and attitude of the historian expressing these ideas comes across in addition to the text and adds to the message his conviction about how important the matter is without making one feel lectured to.
