AGW: Achilles' Heel of Conservative Movement

-
"In the political realm, global warming is poised to become the Achilles' heel of the American conservative movement. Its fatal mistake: turning global warming into a partisan ideological issue. Conservative politicians, pundits, and think tanks are staking their movement's future on denying the science and delaying the solution. But while they can stop the nation from acting to prevent the worst of global warming, they cannot stop the searing reality of their perverse blunders from becoming painfully clear to all." ~Joseph Romm, Hell And High Water

Time Is Short

-
"We have at most a decade to sharply reverse course. If we fail to act in time, global warming will profoundly and irreversibly remake every aspect of American life -- where we live, how we live, how we grow food and how much we grow, what and how we drive, how we relate to other countries, and so on." ~Joseph Romm, Hell And High Water

Climate Crisis Confusion Is No Accident

-
"The widespread confusion about our climate crisis is no accident. For more than a decade, those who deny that climate change is an urgent problem have sought to delay action on global warming by running a brilliant rhetorical campaign and spreading multiple myths that misinform debate. As a result, many people still believe that global warming is nothing more than a natural climate cycle that humans cannot influence, or that it might even have positive benefits for this nation. Neither is true. The science is crystal clear: We humans are the primary cause of global warming, and we face a bleak future if we fail to act quickly." ~Joseph Romm, Hell And High Water
