Frustration

Dear President and Congress:
You are focusing on the wrong issue right now. Healthcare can wait, and it ought to. Get this need to issue resolved first. I’d be surprised if you did, but what a breath of fresh air it would be, no pun intended, to watch you focus on something that all reasonable people can agree needs immediate attention and drastic action.

No 2050 deadlines. That’s too late and you know it. The above linked report cites 2015 as our last chance. Other studies have predicted that arctic ice will completely disappear by the summer of 2012. With this in mind, f’ing around with a complex healthcare bill is burning up precious time to act on something monumentally more important. Every day you work on something else other than climate change (or nothing at all, as is common), you fail all of us.
