Notes_from_a_Cluttered_Mind : Dog_Sold_Separately

Must read of the week. Why are politicians not addressing climate change? Because you don’t ask.

Highlights

• Climate change does not register as a high-priority issue for most Americans, and the Democratic and Republican presidential campaigns are both exacerbating the situation by ignoring the issue.
• The consequence of this inattention will be an irreversible commitment to a much higher level of global warming than either Obama or Romney care to admit.
• If Americans are to have any hope of addressing climate change, a grassroots social movement must challenge the irresponsibility of both candidates.
