A question on climate change

[Johonny]

11. As long as money controls legislation we won't do very much as a nation on this issue

I think it is encouraging that this round of reports on the information we know about climate is getting more and more press and people are talking about it more on social media. But within capital hill you're not seeing much action. Remember in 2000 Bush pledged to regulate carbon dioxide emissions as central component of his energy policy. He did nothing. Republicans will adopt this language again and then do nothing in power. Their voters simply do not hold them accountable for doing nothing. They ran on jobs, jobs, jobs and did nothing for years now. If the entire Republican voting block in the house is swept out of office in anger for their inaction the past 3.5 years then I believe this country will act on the biggest threat to the country in the modern world. When they aren't, then I think you can be certain the worst of climate predictions are likely to become reality.

This isn't bad... bad is what the climate will be like in 50-200 years.
