Government officials, representatives from EPA, industry, and environmental groups were among those testifying at a hearing on the Federal agencies response to the scientific evidence of global climate change and to receive statements on S. 2667, the National Energy Policy Act of 1988. One of the purposes of this hearing was to underline the administration responsibilities. Various Federal agencies must coordinate their efforts and lead, not stand by and let our climate change while we study the issue. Global atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide have been steadily increasing since the advent of the industrial age. During the last 150 years, the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has risen from 280 ppm to 350 ppm. Since 1958, concentrations have increased by about 40 ppm in that short period of time alone.
