"The world's scientists agree that the window to prevent the worst effects of global warming is closing. The United States must act quickly to reduce its carbon emissions at least 80 percent by 2050, but Congress has yet to act. In 2008, UCS worked with allies in Congress to craft such a policy, and bolstered these efforts by organizing and distributing a statement signed by more than 1,700 prominent U.S. scientists and economists calling for the needed reductions."
