The Political Climate: an ongoing commentary on the NH Primary and Climate Change

Last week The Political Climate commented on an op-ed by Cass Sunstein about the mild consequences of global warming to the U.S. and China when compared to the consequences to much of the rest of the world. This article from the New York Times supports Sunstein’s assessment of the degree to which climate change poses a threat to developing nations, both through climate-caused disasters such as rising sea levels and drought, and through diminishing aid dollars as they are siphoned off to combat the donor countries’ own climate-caused problems.
