"But a growing number of policy makers say that the world’s rising
temperatures, surging seas and melting glaciers are a direct threat to

If the United States does not lead the world in reducing fossil-fuel
consumption and thus emissions of global warming gases, proponents of
this view say, a series of global environmental, social, political and
possibly military crises loom that the nation will urgently have to
address."

One must wonder why the United States must be the 'leader'. Why not

global crises depend solely on the leadership of the USA?

And, suppose no one of consequence follows.

Nope. Global warming isn't happening, because the right doesn't want it to.
