Should the City of Falls Church Adopt Actions to Address Global Warming?

From Jeff Peterson

The scientific community has reached consensus that the global climate is warming and that this climate change will have significant consequences for the natural environment and for people throughout the world.  A principal cause of global warming is the increased release of greenhouse gases from combustion of fossil fuels.  Global temperatures will increase in coming years simply because of past releases of greenhouse gases.  Many scientists believe, however, that within a dozen years, a "tipping point" may be reached where much more dramatic, perhaps even catastrophic, climate change will become irreversible.
