Marie Diamond, ThinkProgress: 'While the science supporting climate change has only gotten stronger, the onetime Republican consensus on the issue has fallen apart. The reason, quite simply, is the right-wing polluter Koch Industries and its political front group Americans for Prosperity. They have become the unparalleled enforcer of far right-wing ideology, funneling millions of oil and coal industry dollars cash across the nation to spread their message of global warming denial.'

California Governor Calls Doubters of Climate Change 'Political Lemmings'

David Siders, McClatchy Newspapers: 'Ninety seven percent of the scientists who research climate change are people who, from their own understanding of the science, are completely convinced that greenhouse gases are associated with climate change and global warming,' Brown said. 'But when you go into the political class, then it s a very different thing.'

Dave Johnson, Truthout: 'Are members of Congress corrupt? Perhaps we should define the term. There is the terrible, 'legal' corruption of pay-for-play campaign contributions, with wealthy donors and big corporations paying to get tax cuts, subsidies, special laws and 'access.' This is part of why our government is responsive to the agenda of the 1 percent and their corporations only.'

Beginning in early childhood, schools have inculcated young minds in the alleged virtues of obedience to the centralized authority of the state, without whose continuing supervision, we have been told, would render our lives 'nasty, brutish, and short'.

Absurdity Rules the World

By Siv O'Neall

Respect for power and blind obedience were the result of the U.S. educational system. ''I pledge obedience to the flag of the United States of America ...'' Millions and millions of yes-men had been molded out of the clay of propaganda and history books.

Marching Off the Cliff

Noam Chomsky, Truthout: 'It s no secret that the US government is lagging on climate issues.... To gain perspective on what s happening in the world, it s sometimes useful to adopt the stance of intelligent extraterrestrial observers viewing the strange doings on Earth. They would be watching in wonder as the richest and most powerful country in world history now leads the lemmings cheerfully off the cliff.'

At Durban Talks, Government Officials Fiddle as Planet Burns

Laura Carlsen, Foreign Policy in Focus: 'Government representatives, gathered at climate change talks in Durban, South Africa, have been fiddling for the past week.... Durban, like Cancun, in the end will be mostly just another global showcase for this clash of worldviews.... One of the most important steps will be to broaden the focus from once-a-year meetings in high-carbon conference centers, to the fields, communities and town halls where alternatives are already growing and a stronger political consensus can be built from the bottom up.'
