Thank you f...Dear Home Performance Energy Auditor,<br /><br />Thank you for your comment. I checked out that website and I agree that the risks of climate change are often communicated using conservative estimates. That is all the more reason we need to take action and prepare for a changing planet. Resilient, green buildings address both climate change mitigation and adaptation needs. Isn't the health, safety and long-term economic well-being of our communities one of the most important issues we need to address? Then why aren't our leaders mobilizing? We need your help to communicate this to Congress and local governments. Thanks again.Maggie Comstockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00360540917329895969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2253255273965803452.post-27170943010771501492012-03-26T18:44:03.368-04:002012-03-26T18:44:03.368-04:00Would it not be wonderful if all the experts would...Would it not be wonderful if all the experts would discontinue dancing and professing we can't do it, it's not possible, give me millions more $ to fly around and say we can't do it yet.
