Last week, the Associated Press reported 'a troubling new milestone.'

Dr. Brian Moench, Truthout: ''Despite the wide-reaching civil rights implications of the president s...he remains weak on another issue, one which concerns the very survival of life (human and non-human) as we know it, where there is no margin for error and no time to waste, issues where the clock is not only ticking, but nearing the end of its prelude to catastrophe. I am talking, of course, about 'the climate crisis', what the conniving Republican strategist Frank Luntz convinced the media to start calling 'climate change' in 2003 because polling showed that it sounded less ominous than 'global warming.'''
