An Incredible Week for the Environment, Sponsored By People Who Care—and Apparently, There Are a Heck of a Lot of Them

The good people at Environmental Action, environmental-action.org, sent me this:

Breaking: Yesterday the New York Attorney General announced an investigation into whether Exxon lied about climate change. Today, President Obama officially blocked the Keystone XL oil pipeline. Tonight MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow will host a forum with all three Democratic presidential candidates, and we want her to ask them about this week’s amazing climate news.

It really has been a wild couple of days.  It’s as if a dam has burst from the pressure of too much public sentiment about something very specific: we actually do care about the future of our civilization here on Earth.  It’s hard for me to write about stuff like this without tears of joy welling up in my eyes.
