By Brooks B. Yeager, Executive Vice President for Policy, Clean Air-Cool Planet While progress in crafting an effective international response to climate change has been proceeding, as they say, “at a glacial pace,” the glaciers themselves have not. They’ve been retreating and losing ice at an accelerating rate – one that threatens to change the face [...]
