If I truly believed it was our greatest challenge, OK fine, got it, start with that premise, I'd expect those in Congress who share that belief to put this as their NUMBER ONE priority.  The verbiage is fine, I guess, but I look at the actions.

That's not how this works. You don't ONLY address the most significant priority on the list. Otherwise you'd only ever get one thing done at a time.

In my own personal life, I focus on the most significant thing or problem.  I try and do another couple often as not.

My goal is to do one thing a day.  Sometimes I manage two.

Its not like concern over climate change is 1st or 2nd or even 3rd on the list of concerns

its not even in the top 10 for most voters unlike what the media would have you believe

Sure, but conversely, you also can't list something as the #1 priority, and then take no meaningful action to address it.

If this were in fact their NUMBER ONE priority, it would be front and center on their agenda, not buried in fine print.

I think the truth is they don't know what to attempt to do other than throw money at it.

At least a proposed carbon tax would be a something concrete and specific, how well it worked could be subject to discussion.  But, it's unpopular of course.  Canada has one, it's insufficient and not really doing much of course, but they have one.

Not to worry they will get around to taxing over climate change

I still opine if indeed it is our top most pressing need, they wouldn't be "getting around to it".

Some list of "climate bills" including something about cleaning SF bay isn't very impressive to me.  I won't even bother asking how any of those bills would contribute much to avoiding climate change, it's obvious they won't.

Well, it's a political issue. Call your local congressman.

I have to admit, I don't mind it when we have stormy wet days when the US Open is on.  Always feel guilty hunkering down to watch golf in mid June.  Very wicked storks blowing through IN yesterday and today.

Nice to get some prime time golf too.   Was humbled on this Torrey Pines front nine when I played it.  Scored well on the back.

The dude in the video is saying what I've been saying.  

Using kids to espouse some technical topic is twaddle.

Ha, he's talking about having goals but no plans.  Ha.
