According to a report submitted to the UN, the US will emit more not less greenhouse gases by 2020. The US is already one of the world's largest polluters. It produces 25% of the pollution that causes global warming. Even worse, more and more scientists are concluding that we cannot stop global warming. If all countries stopped producing greenhouse gases tomorrow, then temperatures would still increase.
In the future, global warming will seriously affect the US and its economy. Opponents say that the US needs to do more. Its current policy only focuses on slowing the amount of carbon dioxide and other harmful gases which are released. The administration hasn't passed any policies that reduce emissions.
Scientists are working to improve wind and solar power at the moment. But maybe the answer to global warming is simpler. Paul Hellyer, a former Canadian defense minister from the 1960s, has asked all governments to release their information on UFOs. He has explained that we could find different, cleaner energy sources with the alien technology. Those spacecrafts have traveled great distances to visit our planet, so they must have advanced engines and energy systems.
He stated that UFOs have definitely crashed on the Earth. We could save our planet if governments didn't hide all of the alien technology.
