Is Hillary dancing away from AGW

[pscot]

in this statement, or am I misreading it?

"What I think we have to be about is working together, overcoming the lines that divide us, this partisan, cultural, geographic (divide). Building on what we know works, we can take on any challenge we confront," Clinton said. Reflecting the entire family's involvement, the foundation has been renamed the Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton Foundation.

Clinton's speech at the start of a two-day annual conference touched on themes that could be part of a future Democratic presidential campaign, with the former New York senator stressing the need for private and public partnerships to tackle issues like economic and educational inequality. She said climate change, "financial contagion" and nuclear proliferation were "too complex and cross-cutting" for any one government to solve alone.

1. Pardon, what does AGW stand for?

[pscot]

2. Anthropgenic Global Warming

AKA climate change.

3. I don't think that is evidence that she is

It is a basic statement of fact as far as I can see. I don't have any idea how she really feels about dealing with the carbon problem, though. Bill didn't do squat.

[pscot]

4. That's why I asked

I got the idea she was relegating it to the back burner. There's certainly no sense of urgency suggested there.

5. It certainly isn't a full throated roar for action.

I also don't know that I agree with her either. Individual countries, and in some cases individual states in the US are the forces that are making the most difference in our effort to do something. A comprehensive international bargain would be great, but attacking the problem at its economic roots as Obama is doing has a lot to be said for it; especially if you can get a supportive Congress to work with.

6. Weasel words.

They're all pathetic. There isn't a leader within ten miles of DC.

[pscot]

7. I wonder if Snowden would like to be President

[wtmusic]

9. That guy, who never graduated high school, is more articulate than half of Congress

There are going to have to be some big changes if the U.S. is going to survive.

8. IOW, her corporate sponsors told her to back off.

We expect nothing else from a DLCer.

10. We've already reached the new normal and politicians know climate change is a dud.

So they won't mention it or address it unless, say, we get 3 Sandy's back to back or 2 Katrinas back to back in the same season. Otherwise the US is standing to be energy self-sufficient with the use of fracking technologies and the long game is to basically wait out the coming crunch. All the while profiting immensely from coal exports.

11. Hillary would just continue where Obama left off

and we know what that means.
