Can America go green?

Questions Elizabeth Kolbert:
"Certainly, there are few questions more urgent than how - and how quickly - the US will react to climate change. "
Like, "Can the Democrats use this to win back Congress and the White House before they get caught?"

Lo and behold, this question is, in fact, raised:
"At this point, midterm elections in the US are just five months away. Recent polls suggest that control of both houses of Congress is up for grabs. It's possible that the Democrats will win a majority in at least one, in which case the chairmanships of certain important committees will shift to less openly anti-science members."
And who is Elizabeth Kolbert?
"Prior to joining the staff of The New Yorker, Ms. Kolbert was a political reporter for The New York Times. She is a graduate of Yale University."
As I asked in an earlier post, "Where are the unbiased, non-partisan, fact seekers?"
