Reformers 

Many of us would like our society to work better—politics freed from the influence of special interests, citizens taking their responsibilities more seriously, everyone uniting for a common goal. We see climate change as an opportunity for the US to fulfill its promise.

Thomas Friedman says “We … need to find a way to reknit America at home, reconnect America abroad and restore America to its natural place in the global order — as the beacon of progress, hope and inspiration.”

Al Gore would like to see Reason returned to politics, as his recent book explains. He once said, “The climate crisis also offers us a chance to experience what very few generations in history have had the privilege of knowing: a generational mission; the exhilaration of a compelling moral purpose; a shared and unifying cause; the thrill of being forced by circumstances to put aside the pettiness and conflict that so often stifle the restless human need for transcendence; the opportunity to rise… When we rise , we will experience an epiphany as we discover that this crisis is really not about politics at all. It is a moral and spiritual challenge.”
