Will Climate Wake Up Call Be Answered?

Stanford Professor Stephen H. Schneider called the latest reports “the latest of a few hundred wake up calls that don’t seem to stir the slumbering political establishment in the United States, though whether this is a tiny ring or a clarion call remains to be determined.”

Schneider observed that “increased intensity of hurricanes, many more damaging heat waves, rapidly waning mountain glaciers, thinning Arctic sea ice and the warmest few decades in thousands of years should have been wake up calls enough! How many oil company executives and members of Congress has that awakened from their climate change policy slumbers?”
