America’s climate reputation now fully rehabilitated, thanks to a few empty words.
February 4th, 2009
America’s commitment to averting the world’s climate crisis has been restored! However vacuous and noncommital the words, it’s enough for true believers the world over to exclaim that the new Obama administration has officially reversed the damn-near suicidal course we were on before. We will NOT let California shrivel up and die!
From here forward, it will not matter that nothing substantial happens–the tone has been set. America cares now, and is worthy of regaining international respect. Esteemed intellectuals will define our challenges, and deploy non-political technocrats to marshal the appropriate public and private resources needed to fight a battle that America cannot lose.
