Stephan:   This is good news, but sadly deficient. At least Obama is championing some remediation. Nowhere near what is needed but something. What this superficial assessment — and I have seen nothing better in corporate media at this point — does not say is that the momentum of climate change is so great that if we stopped putting carbon in the atmosphere entirely the climate change devastations would still occur. I think most corporations know this, but they will defend the status quo as long as they can, to protect profits and avoid the cost of reconfiguration, or the demise of their sector. It's time to face the fact we are not going to handle this well, and I think one would be well-advised to follow what is happening in your locale closely: five out years, 10, 15,20, and so on, and plan accordingly. As I have said many times here, I have been following climate change since 1991 and the one constant has been the collapse of the timeline.
