Tuesday, the one-day United Nations’ summit on climate change in New York City began by viewing ‘What’s Possible’, a short film on the urgency of global warming.

Let’s not just react to the meaning behind this film with some sort of pseudo-Progressive applause without recognizing that to do this requires some changes, and hard ones.  I expect that the same forces that have ignored this for 30 years will say it’s “unaffordable”.  Unaffordable for WHAT?  If you WANT a future,  then throw “affordable” out.  “Affordable” assumes that there is something else more urgent for the budget to address.
