It was pathetic to see the establishment environmental organizations roll over for Obama by falling under the siren song of “access.” Yes, they got in to see the Chief, but no, their goals were in no way vigorously supported by Obama. So they got played. Once again.
Clinton’s scene will be a whole different kettle of fish, since she’s already revealed her hand–or rather, Wikileaks revealed it for her. Her contempt for environmentalists is another sign that SHE JUST DOESN’T GET IT. How can she not realize the climate hazards her grandchildren are going to have to face? Do people over 65 just stop being able to internalize shifting external realities?
(Boilerplate avowal: Trump is a deranged demagogue who will pillage this country and yes, I’ll vote for Clinton over him any day of the week.)
Access is irrelevant. What works is keeping the pressure on.
