When will we get action to fight climate change?

It seems that nearly every day we see or hear references to climate change, yet we still wait for decisive action by Congress.

This despite the fact that many politicians across the political spectrum - including Senators Lindsey Graham and Dick Durbin - support a tax on carbon to reduce CO2 emissions and global warming.

Several proposals for this include regular dividend payments to citizens from the fee's proceeds.

Members of Congress and the President need to hear from us through calls, emails, and letters that we want action, now. There is no planet B.
