7 Reasons America Will Fail on Climate Change

Ezra Klein wrote a particularly depressing post, 7 reasons America will fail on climate change "I touched on this in my conversation with Ta-Nehisi Coates, but I'm a climate pessimist. I don't believe the United States — or the world — will do nearly enough, nearly fast enough, to hold the rise in temperatures to safe levels. I think we're fucked. Or, at the least, I think our grandchildren are fucked."

I've been watching Years of Living Dangerously on Showtime and find it good but similarly depressing (though each story tries to end on an up note).

*Update: * Brad Plumer's followup is somewhat less depressing, Why it's still not "game over" for global warming
