The politics of climate change are difficult in the Senate, it's often said, because it's a regional issue: coal state senators are afraid their economies will be driven under if the price of dirty energy rises too quickly.
Climate change is, in fact, a regional issue, but not in the short-term way that the coal senators think, according to new analysis from The Nature Conservancy.

OK, be forewarned that I am by no means making any comparisons between Sam Brownback and Hitler but his sad state of affairs reminds me of the Hitler I mean Hilter sketch from "Monty Python's Flying Circus." Notably, at the end of the sketch where Hitler I mean Hilter is making a rousing speech to two children and a dumb farmer. Enough is enough spare yourself, Brownback.OK, be forewarned that I am by no means making any comparisons between Sam Brownback... more
