Weather, Water, Energy 8-29-06

Since I criticize our blogging community frequently for losing sight of the reality of the weather, water, and energy crises that face us and that should be the rallying point for the campaigns to reverse our political decline, I should also give credit where it's due. ThinkProgress, probably the best group blog on the topics, and Susie Madrak, probably the best individual blogger, both have posts up that should set you thinking. And even the estimable Digby turns her attention to the subjects, giving hope to us all. The best news is that ThinkProgress has created a blog specifically for the climate topic, ClimateProgress, to keep us all going. Now, if the big names could just start bubbling up the political strategy to make it stick, or at least to coax Big Al, the only credible political leader, into mobilizing the movement, there might be even more than just hope.
