Watch Out for the Echo-Boom: Why Politicians Had Better Start Paying Attention to the Millennial Generation via It's Getting Hot In Here October 24th, 2007 at 22:46

80 million teens and twenty-somethings are ready to make their mark on American politics. Is the growing youth climate movement - now poised to explode off campuses and into the nation’s capitol for Power Shift 2007, the first national youth climate summit - the vanguard of a new progressive, pro-environment youth political movement? By 2010, another 17.3 million young Americans will come of age, swelling the already sizable ranks of voting-age “Millennials” – those teens and twenty-somethings coming to age in the early years of the 21st century. At 80 million strong, the Millennial generation outnumbers even the Baby Boomers by 3 million and represents the single-largest demographic age group in electoral politics, according to a recent Mother Jones article...

Attention Nordhaus and Schellenberger: Time to Call A Cease-Fire! via It's Getting Hot In Here September 28th, 2007 at 04:40

image In 2004, Ted Nordhaus and Michael Schellenberger released their provocative and much-discussed essay, “The Death of Environmentalism,” in which they criticized the environmental movements lack of progress towards global warming solutions and argued that a fundamental shift in philosophy, messaging and tactics was necessary to capture the American public’s interest and build a successful movement for climate solutions. Now, the two “bad boys of environmentalism” are back with a new book, Break Through: From the Death of Environmentalism to the Politics of Possibility and they’re making waves again with their provocative and arguably inflammatory style. In my opinion, “The Death of Environmentalism” presented a crucially important and valid...
