The Climate Minute: Democracy in Action (PODCAST)

The activist group Citizen's Climate Lobby organized meetings on Capitol Hill recently to let ordinary people ask their Representatives to put a price on carbon pollution.  Here is a link to a detailed report about daily events at the event. One of the speakers was Bob Inglis, and a real highlight was mentioned in D.R.'s blog (see the video there) of Senator Sheldon Whitehouse’s rousing speech.

A new report highlights the "Risky Business" of climate change. Hank Paulson made the case in the NYT, but generally speaking, the media covered its collective eyes and ears. Here are the stories of an embarrassing mix up at CNBC  ,  a Federal Loan guaranty  for Cape Wind and the strange story of a South Pacific nation buying a new country.

Because we recognize the necessity of personal accountability for our actions, because we accept responsibility for building a durable future and because we believe it is our patriotic duty as citizens to speak out, we must insist that the United States put a price on carbon.

Thanks for listening.
