A plea for some pepper in the climate change message

An alarmist's lament is here.

Excerpt:

To deliver a story about climate change that intrigues and challenges and galvanizes, the candidates need to really believe that this is a necessary and a great undertaking. They need to believe that it will ennoble and enrich us, that it will make us a nation of history once again. We've become so small. This is how we can become large again -- large of ambition and spirit. Say it like you mean it.
