Good Question

98 months, and counting

Governments moved quickly to rescue our banks. Why does it take any longer to act to save the planet from runaway warming?

We now have only 98 months before the world enters a new, more perilous phase of global warming, and that's if we are lucky. Glaciers around the world may be increasing their rate of retreat, but something else is also beginning to move. When was the last time you can recall a former American vice-president calling on the youth of the world to commit widespread acts of civil disobedience?
