Climate Change and Politics

I think most people have seen the movie 'The Day After Tomorrow'.  If you haven't it's a movie about climate change which depicts global warming causing the Earth to undergo a major climate shift.  How realistic the movie actually is I hope we never find out.  I'm referring to it because I think it shows the complicated nature of fighting climate change and politics.   The political parties in our country seem to be on the opposite sides of climate change belief and counteraction.  Making things even more complicated is one of the leading Republican candidates probably has bigger carbon footprint than some 3rd world nations.  So many things have to change in order for us to begin to be effective in this battle against climate change.  If the U.S. political parties are in a winded debate about this topic, I fear it will take decades before effective change can be implemented.  My opinion is that small business innovation and good old capitalism will be the jump start in effectively battling climate change.  But we're going to need more politicians along for the ride...
