Climate Change: The scope of the problem
Do you personally accept the fact that if drastic action is not taken soon to reduce carbon emissions the survival of the human race will be put at risk?

What percentage of lawmakers do you think are aware of this?

In regard to this issue, which is a bigger obstacle on capital hill: lack of education or lack of political will?

This is another reason why the Democrats should have impeached Bush/Cheney as soon as they took office in 2007. We've wasted two years when we could have been working on global warming because we coddled the President and his lackeys. Every meaningful piece of legislation was held up because we let this guy off the hook. Never mind that we've essentially set a precedent for other administrations to ignore the law and loot the Treasury. Just keeping impeachment on the table might have given the Democrats enough power to push some changes through on critical issues like this.
