This Earth Day, we know what we have to do to fight climate change, and we know who stands against us.
This may be the most frustrating Earth Day in the 50-year history of the celebration. At no other time have we been faced with such acute peril from anthropogenic climate disruption. At no other time have more people been personally invested in making the changes necessary to create a sustainable world. At no other time has actually making those changes in the halls of power seemed more challenging.
A one-vote majority in the Senate elevated Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin of Arizona to the status of kingmaker… or planet-breaker, depending upon where you stand. Like a vampire stooped over pliable prey, Manchin supped on the blood of these bills for months, until one was passed in skeletal form. The other remains in rewrite limbo. He did this for coal and campaign contributions from coal interests, and no other reasons besides.
This is the agony of the paradigm shift, of the great change that must happen even in the implacable face of vast, entrenched wealth.
