Climate Change and Politics

Here is a video that describes in a very succinct way what climate change is all about and the threats we face because of it. Thanks to Global green for originally posting this video on their blog.

So there you have it. Climate change is real and the facts and evidence are stacked up high in telling us that humans are the cause of this change. So what do the denialists do? They attach two riders to the payroll tax cut extension bill that exempt the coal industry from the Clean Air Act and expedites the approval of the Keystone XL pipeline that will carry tar sands from Canada to Texas. They live in an alternate reality.  Fortunately, Senate Democrats have said that bill is dead in the water and even if it passed the Senate, President Obama will veto it. Republicans don't get it. You don't save your hand by cutting off your leg. Politics is a mess and full of self-serving killjoys. It's time to clean up Washington. Send that message through your vote.
