I predict that, fore-going anything out of left field like 9/11, Howard will lose the next election because of his refusal to take global warming seriously. And it will be because the business end of town has already calculated the risks and wants action for their own stability. Businesses, states, unions, industries, universities and ordinary people are already starting to take action on their own, bypassing government; but they want and need to see the same kind of commitment from government.
