En Fuego

Krugman has really been hitting the environmental bong pretty hard lately and it's good to see. The climate bill (and really anything related to the environment) needs to be front page news more so, say, then a dead pedophile.

Put it this way: if the consensus of the economic experts is grim, the consensus of the climate experts is utterly terrifying. At this point, the central forecast of leading climate models — not the worst-case scenario but the most likely outcome — is utter catastrophe, a rise in temperatures that will totally disrupt life as we know it, if we continue along our present path. How to head off that catastrophe should be the dominant policy issue of our time.
