The US has fallen behind a number of nations in its R&D efforts during the past decade and this has to be reversed. Besides, a good proportion of R&D budgets must be geared toward climate chnage aspects. An aggregate 2 to 3 percent growth in innovations-led productivity will offset much of potential losses due to climate change. However, this is not to say that a number of direct interventions are essential for mitigating climate change impacts. Rep Rush Holt can help in the later as well.
