...have enough time? The evening cocktail parties were just getting started in Bali as former Vice President Al Gore was accepting his Nobel Peace Prize in Oslo, thousands of miles away. In his speech, Gore called for bold and immediate action from the negotiators in Bali, including a universal global cap on carbon emissions. "We must quickly mobilize our civilization," he said. "Something basic is wrong. We are wrong and we must make it right...
...course, that's not happening. Even if there were the sort of planetwide consensus that Gore calls for - and there's not - the wheels of international governance grind slow. It takes 190-plus countries a long, long time to agree on anything. So it can sometimes seem, in the torpid heat of Bali, that the calls for action will go unheeded, that we'll never get our act together in time the meet the demands of science, which call for a peak on global carbon emissions to be reached within a decade or so, followed by rapid reductions. That...
...Maybe, but as Gore himself has said, the political system is not linear. Today there is momentum on climate change in the U.S. that was unimaginable just a year ago. "It's hard to gauge just how quickly the momentum could gather," says Frances Beinecke, NRDC's president, who counts herself as hopeful.

Given the current public atmosphere toward climate change, both domestically and globally, it is imperative that Harvard throw its institutional weight behind such emission policies. Al Gore ’69 just won a Nobel Peace Prize for his work on climate change, and currently, the United States is engaged in a global climate summit in Bali, which is looking past Kyoto to the next generation of climate regulations. There is no better time for Harvard...
