Warming Wednesdays: a farmer's view

Clay Pope, a rancher from Loyal, Okla., schools President Obama on climate change.

Mr. Pope's clear exposition of the imperatives of the moment put me in mind of the new study getting a lot of play these days: rank and file voters are a LOT less conservative than our legislators think. We are also a lot smarter and a lot more likely to take a longer term view than our re-election obsessed "leaders."

H/t Timothy Egan for pointing to the existence of this video, though it took some hunting to find it. How about a link, darn it!

Despite every other legitimate concern, we cannot ignore that our economic and social system is rapidly making the planet less habitable. So I will be posting "Warming Wednesdays" -- reminders of an inconvenient truth.
