FACING a public focused on economic revival, a hostile House and the lowest level of voter concern in a long while on human-driven climate change, President Obama could easily punt on energy this Tuesday.

March 2009: Climate Skeptics Gather In New York City : NPR

Mr. REVKIN: Basically it's a meeting of self-described climate skeptics. These are - you know, for 20 years, ever since the global warming concept has been evolving in a big way in the science community, there's been a very vocal, mixed array of people who either outright reject the science, who accept that humans are influencing the climate, but it's inconsequential, or in some cases who are paid to be there, to sort of oppose regulations on pollution or emissions, and so it's a mixture. And what I sense this year - there was a little of this last year too - is they're realizing they have such a varied array of scientific explanations for what's going on with climate that they felt the need to sort of sync things up, to square up their own stories in some sense, because otherwise they're in danger of losing credibility.

COHEN: And what do you think has caused this change?

Mr. REVKIN: They're not gaining traction, let's put it that way. They're still out there. There are people on the other side of the issue who have a very extreme view of, you know, the climate becoming unraveled in real time where the science also is maybe not there. If you're trying to make a case to the public in America, if you're not consistent, that's a sign of you may not have reality on your side.
