Readers of the Nation seem to have no concept of urgency. Constitutional crises are important, but nowhere as important as climate change. They seem to disagree, according to this poll:

Right now climate change ranks dead last among the issues they feel the candidates are not devoting enough time to.

Get your priorities straight, people! The environment should be number 1 far and away. Progressives who critique conservatives on climate change need to take a long, hard look in the mirror. Nobody is paying enough attention to this.

The problem is that liberals think that gay marriage rights, abortion, and public works are more important issues than the climate crisis.

Let’s get real, here. The solutions that we’ve come up with are pathetic. Alternative fuels are only a very short-term (and ineffective) answer to the problem. We simply need to consume far less energy.

Less.

Energy.

The first presidential candidate who has the nuts to out right tell America and the world that we need to use less energy, and comes up with a real approach will get my vote.
