Lyndon Johnson

This generation has altered the composition of the atmosphere on a global scale through…..a steady increase in carbon dioxide from the burning of fossil fuels.

This weeks green thought comes from US President Lyndon Johnson after scientists had explained the ‘greenhouse effect’ caused by the burning of fossil fuels to him in 1965. In February he then gave a ‘Special Message to Congress’ containing this message.
