Van Jones was at the Democratic National Convention this week to talk about green jobs, justice, and the economic growth potential in a new, green economy. I caught him for a few minutes to talk about the message he's bringing to the convention, and about whether he'd take a job in an Obama administration. Green Jobs Czar, perhaps?
We also caught up with a number of leaders in the environmental community to talk about what the next administration needs to do on climate. More videos below the fold.

I liked
Van Jones and the two young people from the Energy Action Coalition the most. Jones is brillant as usual - espcially his mentioning the "dirty greens" - and I appreciated that the young people were not yet encrusted with the zebra mussels of real politik and inside the belt way deal making.

A human-driven tragedy for humanity.....
......appears in the offing.
To behold such huge challenges to life as we know it and the integrity of Earth; and to see so many pathetic responses to them by current politicians and government sinecurists, are abominable signs of a state of dangerous decay, one that is destroying the very heart and soul of political life.
Perhaps Mr. Barack Obama can make a difference.
