While our nation’s politicians attended last night’s, “prom night”, the other story was Carol Browner’s resignation. As Obama’s energy czar, Ms. Browner was the President’s top adviser when it came to climate change and energy matters. Sadly, no comprehensive energy and climate bill addressing the threat of global warming has been passed into law during her term over the past two years. With Ms. Browner’s departure, it seems unlikely that there will be any movement on this issue of paramount importance. Most of the world’s top scientists have been warning us about climate change for decades, and now is the time to enact real change. As they campaign for votes and fight amongst themselves, our politicians have forgotten that we belong to the earth…the Earth does not belong to us. The threat of global warming is already a crisis, and environmental issues need to be an immediate priority for all politicians, regardless of their political affiliation.
