      Op-Ed Bill McKibben: Hillary Clinton needs to take a stand on the
      Dakota Access Pipeline</a><br>
    <blockquote> <font size="-1">The Democratic platform is great, and
        maybe there's a chance she'll pay attention to it...When native
        protesters tried to get in the way, the company sicced guard
        dogs on them...And not a peep from the woman who would be
        president.....The people who've built Clinton's campaign war
        chest and her personal fortune are the same people who paid for
        the dogs that bit young native Americans last week...It's clear
        that Clinton would like to run out the clock on this election;
        she figures that Trump's obvious incompetence will guarantee her
        victory. But sometimes things happen. The fight at Standing Rock
        is a big damned thing. It's a Flint-in-the-making, and it's also
        a chance to for once do right by the continent's oldest
        inhabitants. Surely Hillary Clinton can rise to the occasion.
        Can't she?</font><br>

      media bias is inflating American climate denial and polarization</a><br>
    <blockquote> <font size="-1">New studies show that climate
        polarization is on the rise in the US; WSJ climate coverage is
        full of denial....A new study by a team of sociologists at
        Oklahoma State University has found political polarization on
        climate change is growing in the United States. Today's
        Republicans are less likely than they were a decade ago to
        accept that the effects of global warming have begun, that
        humans are responsible, and that there is a scientific consensus
        on these questions. Democrats and independents are slightly more
        likely to answer these questions correctly today than a decade
        ago....Climate change is now more polarizing in the US than
        abortion or gay marriage. At the same time, climate denial has
        become the norm among Republican policymakers, as they've grown
        increasingly anti-environment. ...As the study notes:   </font><font
        size="-1">"What was once a modest tendency for Congressional
        Republicans to be less pro-environmental than their Democratic
        counterparts has become a chasm—with Republicans taking
        near-unanimous anti-environmental stances on relevant
        legislation in recent years, especially 2015."...But there's a
        limit to what the President of the United States can do on his
        or her own. US Congress still controls American climate policy,
        or the lack thereof. As long as the conservative media continues
        to misinform readers and breed a conservative culture of climate
        denial, American efforts to tackle the threat of climate change
        will be constrained, and the future of human society and of the
        Republican Party will be endangered.</font><br>

        face of global warming? In his first major book of nonfiction
        since In an Antique Land, Ghosh examines our inability—at the
        level of literature, history, and politics—to grasp the scale
