if you think the results of a straw poll will make Lamar Smith throw off the the fossil fuel industry and champion sweeping climate change policies, I've got a lovely bridge you might be interested in too. Seriously, what do you imagine he might do to regarding climate change?

A more pragmatic effort and productive focus would be to support Dems who are already onboard and encourage them, and any other spokespersons, able to cognizantly open a factual dialog with the press and engage the public's concern and interest. As we have in the past, govt can forge long term alliances with science, technology and business leaders bring about the innovative systems necessary to bring about change.
