Climate Change

Al Gore (An Inconvenient Truth and Our Choice) and Paul Gilding (The Great Disruption). Both Gore and Gilding's declarations of catastrophe caused by global climate change are an important precedent. They are politically premature and true, however they are relegated to the scrap heap of ridiculed ideas about climate change, sustainability and democratic principles. Under ordinary circumstances, articulating the previously unthinkable and using means that appear on the surface to be extra-constitutional, these will cause a reaction from Republicans to oppose the policies at all costs. In 2011, they are ten years too early. Just like anyone warning about Germany or Japan 10 years before WWII.
