primary candidates competed over who would be the toughest on
fossil fuels and climate change. Hillary Clinton has called for
banning offshore drilling in the Arctic and Atlantic, phasing out
fossil fuel production on public land, and imposing stricter
fracking regulations. She did not get there on her own: Both
Martin O'Malley and Bernie Sanders challenged her from the left on
climate change with even more ambitious proposals. The Sanders'
camp also pushed the Democratic platform committee with a number
of climate-related demands, resulting in a document that calls for
carbon pricing and rejecting future infrastructure projects that
would increase U.S. carbon emissions.... stop far short of what is

VP Pick Gets Mixed Reception as DNC Draws Protesters:</strong></a></font>
Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton chose Virginia
Senator Tim Kaine as her running mate, drawing a mixed reaction
from the climate community. While the Sierra Club and the League
of Conservation support his candidacy, groups such as 350.org and
Climate Hawks Vote were less enthusiastic. Though Kaine supports
the Clean Power Plan and opposed the construction of the Keystone
XL pipeline, he also has supported offshore drilling and natural
gas exports. On the eve of the Democratic National Convention,
thousands of protesters took to the sweltering streets of
Philadelphia to demand support for solar, wind and other forms of
renewable energy and a ban on fracking. (<strong>Kaine Pick:</strong><a

a series that has been examining the practical significance for
climate change policy formation of insights of sociologists
about the failure of governments to respond to the enormous
threat of climate change...This series is reviewing a new book
about the social causes of climate change. The book is Climate
Change and Society, Sociological Perspectives by Riley Dunlap
and Robert Brulle, eds., Oxford University Press, 2015, New
York....In the first entry in the series, we described why
sociological explanations for the success of the opponents of
climate change policies and identification of deep ethical and
moral problems with arguments made by climate change policy
opponents largely have been missing from mainstream climate
change literature and the media coverage of human-induced
warming issues....In the second entry in this series, we looked
at the insights from sociology about the morally reprehensible
climate change disinformation countermovement....We now review
what advocates of strong government action on climate change
should learn from sociologists...1. Pay attention to ... how
civil society’s understanding of climate change issues has been
manipulated by powerful forces,...For a discussion of these
tactics and why they are morally reprehensibility, see,<a
