332. It came on in my market this evening--I had to change the channel. I had the same reaction you did.

The way the thing was crafted, it gave the very things that depressed us cause for the wingnuts to cheer. That's the Bushco influence on PBS.

It's appalling that people who are no longer "climate deniers" are taking the "I'll be dead before the shit gets really bad" attitude, but that is what seems to be happening. It's all about the money with these guys.

I think there is a counter to this movement--or there will be, if we can re-elect Obama and get a large enough majority in both houses to get some shit done. And we need an articulate spokesman/spokeswoman to punch forward with this issue -- someone who will bring along the right, not put their hackles up, piss them off, and mock them--that's not going to solve anything. There are a cadre of wingers, called "Crunchy Cons" who are conservative in every respect save environmental issues--they're an asset to the cause that needs to be tapped and dragged into the environmental tent. It will be a challenge to traditional Dems to not vomit if/when they start talking about other issues in the course of casual conversation, but if they stick to the climate issues they might get some work done. I can dream, I suppose...
