Right now, the most ambitious climate bill in Washington calls for reducing greenhouse gas emissions 7% below 1990 levels by 2020. That's pathetic. According to the Nobel Prize-winning International Panel on Climate Change, the world must reduce emissions much more aggressively -- 25-40% by 2020 -- to have a 50/50 chance of avoiding runaway climate change. Tell President Obama and your Members of Congress to support an emissions reduction target of 40% by 2020 today: http://bit.ly/40by2020On Top 25 reasons to give a damn about climate change posted 5 days, 18 hours ago 28 ResponsesClick here to view comment in original post
Right now, the most ambitious climate bill in Washington calls for reducing greenhouse gas emissions 7% below 1990 levels by 2020. That's pathetic.

Being nice has little to do with it. What you need to get elected in America is corporate money, and Obama had plenty of that. Why do you think he's such a booster of 'clean coal'? The problem is that both Democrats and Republicans are beholden to big-money interests.
The Green Party has a message that would resonate with a large number of Americans, if only that message had a vehicle. Do you think "the majority" is opposed to nonviolence, justice, grassroots democracy and sustainability - the four cornerstones of Green politics?
The point of this article is that we shouldn't be lazy and vote based on the letter next to someone's name, right? That's all well and good, but it's another form of laziness for the media to focus on two narrow choices and ignore everything else out there.

There's only one party with a climate policy that's based on science, and that's the Greens. You could at least give them a mention, especially since the intent of this article seems to be to get environmentalists to be more open-minded politically.
