Eight Nobel-prize winning economists and scientists have joined more
than 2,000 others in signing a letter today that urges the Senate to
take swift action on climate change.

"The longer we wait, the harder and more costly it will be to limit
climate change and to adapt to those impacts that will not be
avoided," reads the letter, which is available on the Union of
Concerned Scientists' website here. "Many emissions reduction
strategies can be adopted today that would save consumers and industry
money while providing benefits for air quality, energy security,
public health, balance of trade, and employment."

The renewed effort to focus attention on the issue comes after a
difficult few months for advocates who want Congress to pass
legislation to curb greenhouse-gas emissions. [ . . . ]
