Climate change: Can disaster be avoided?

Yet another UN report on climate change warns of dire consequences if no action is taken.

The one country that lead the world in addressing climate change is completely gridlocked over the issue thanks to the news media and the Republican party. America could be leader in dealing with climate change but given structure of American government the Republican party can block any legislation proposed by the White House or the Democrats in Congress by refusing to allow a vote. America's media plays its part by trying so hard to appear impartial they invite comment from climate deniers even though the science refutes everything they believe.
