I think I read that Stein had some good ideas that we could urge our elected leaders to push, I'm sure Mr. Dresser knows the chance of Stein being President is not feasible.  His points are right on, though.  This disconnect and inaction is making the future darker and less certain.  As positive climate change feedback loops continue to kick-in more species, including our own, will be put on the chopping block.  What can we do right now?  Write your legislators, buy local, organic and LESS.  Don't fly, don't drive, and if you do, carpool, consolidate trips and talk about this issue with family, friends, neighbors, co-workers.  WE are the ones who need to demand the necessary changes before it's too late, if it's not already.
