Collide-a-scape

This story in yesterday’s NYT, titled “What happened to global warming?” has stirred some discussion over why a sizable bloc of Americans aren’t taking climate change seriously. Brad Plumer in the Washington Post says it’s a “great piece,” while Joe Romm grits his teeth at what he considers a big omission.

I offer my take on the premise of the NYT story at the Yale Forum on Climate Change & the Media.

“Is climate fatigue setting in?” I ask. Let me know over there what you think.

As one reporter noted about Rush Limbaugh:

His controversial quips come faster than a locomotive and he leaps over spineless Republicans in a single sound bite.

Here’s one for the annals.

I’d say this qualifies for President Obama.
