1997: Don't risk our future (Global Climate Coalition)

Americans work hard for what we have Mr President. Don't risk our economic future.

Generations of American families have worked hard to make America's economy the strongest in the world. But that success and the economic security of our future generations is suddenly at great risk. Because right now, our world competitors countries like China, India, Mexico, and Brazil are pressuring the United States to support a U.N. global climate agreement that would force American families to restrict our use of the oil, gasoline, and electricity that heats and cools our homes and schools, gets us to our jobs, and runs our factories and businesses. We'd have to pay more for energy, and, in turn, prices for goods and services would rise. The big countries that compete with America for jobs, trade, and economic security have everything to gain and nothing to lose. Because according to a prior agreement, they won't have to make the sacrifices Americans are expected to make. This also means America's sacrifices will not produce environmental gains. That simply isn't fair, or effective. The climate agreement that President Clinton is under pressure to sign has a big price tag mostly for American. families. It's a bad deal for America. Today. And tomorrow.
