Climate, Politics, & Tea

I posted a couple weeks ago about the climate change documentary,The Age of Stupid.  It is apparently making a huge splash in the UK, and I just came across this video, a discussion between the director of The Age of Stupid and Ed Miliband, the UK’s Energy and Climate Change Secretary.  I have trouble imagining this discussion happening in the U.S.   But they both do make an important point about the need for public participation in putting heat on politicians:

(Technical note: Miliband makes the common mistake of referring to “negative feedbacks” when he meant “positive feedbacks.”  Positive feedback means that the feedback serves to amplify climate change.)
