The Tyee
"The atmosphere does not negotiate. It operates on known laws and properties of physics and chemistry. Either we reduce emissions or we do not. Either we meet our emissions targets or we do not. Either our elected representatives respond to the issue of our time — or they do not. If not now, when? Our house is on fire. 'Pragmatic' is putting the fire out. Fossil-fuel expansion and new pipelines are not 'pragmatic' politics — just plain lunacy. What could be more pragmatic than basing climate policy on the best available science? What could be less pragmatic than letting fossil-fuelled denialism determine climate policy?"
