Especially because of the lack of social safety nets provided by governments. Is there a solution for Africa when they have so much else to focus on - health, poverty, war and hunger? Or are we caught in a Catch 22 with no sustainable solutions?

You hear angry attacks on the liberal media, Al Gore, and Hollywood. Extreme conservatives have folded global warming into their culture wars. They've seen John Warner, Elizabeth Dole, and others let go of partisanship and embrace solutions. You've hit the nail on the head, and I wonder if even deniers would disagree that this is their last gasp.
