Climate and politics. “Belief in climate change doesn’t always lead to action.” This story is limited to polling done in New York state, where apparently 86% of the public believes that climate change in really happening. Yet only 58% think that human activity is the cause and very few make a connection to political action. I would assume that most other states may have a lower percentage of believers to start with, but about the same ratio of attitudes among them. There is no party breakdown given, but we know that New York is heavily weighted with Democrats. This all helps to explain yesterday’s national election results, where other issues clearly took precedence.

What comes next in Washington—from Al Jazeera. This is quite a good short summary of the policy outlook. For sure, the EPA will have a new set of constraints, there will be pressure to approve the Keystone XL pipeline, and so on. Also for sure, there will be no push for a carbon tax in the next two years, or a reduction in fossil fuel subsidies. There could even be a greater effort to hamstring renewable energy projects, and that is indeed a worry. Now, I have a hunch that some Republicans in Congress will get carried away and overreach on these matters–a common fault of all victorious politicians–and end up igniting a much louder public outcry, even from within their own base of party supporters. That would be a healthy development leading up to the next election, that is only two years away.
