TYT: Is Climate Change Action Doomed?



"For the first time in human history, the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has reached 400 parts per million (ppm). The arrival at this threshold represents a powerful symbol of the growing human influence on the Earth's climate."*

We've passed a "line in the sand" on climate science-- the concentration of carbon dioxide in our atmosphere has reached 400 parts per million. Where is the action? Is the obstructionist anti-science science committee in congress dooming us with irreversible climate change? Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian discuss.

That's Cara Santa Maria who is a science Blogger, a neuroscience advocate, and a regular on the Young Turks.

Get it right, please. I like Ana Kasparian, but she's no science journalist. Ms. Santa Maria is.

Otherwise, happy to R&
