Global business leaders sign agreement to fight global warming

Some of the world’s leading corporations and global organizations have committed to a plan Tuesday to save the planet from the harmful effects of man-made climate changes.

Heads of about 100 business organizations, representatives of international organizations and climate experts attended a meeting at the Columbia University to finalize a plan, which they hoped will help pave the way for reduction in emissions.
They urged the world governments to be serious about global warming and initiate immediate corrective actions. They also signed a formal statement expressing support for clean energy movements and against changes in climate caused by man and his activities.

The Global Roundtable on Climate Change, which initiated the talks in 2004 and which culminated in an agreement Tuesday, said in a statement, “Failing to act now would lead to far higher economic and environmental costs and greater risk of irreversible impacts.”
