you'll hear back in his speech.

We'll see what we see tonight & tomorrow, though I'm not holding my breath.

On edit: I ran through their speakers' list on the convention website, and other than Ken Salazar the only other person I thought might maybe possibly mention the issue was John Kerry.

but if it becomes a silent plank what good is it. Is the planet we live on, that is in crisis, at least as important as womens rights, abortion, gay rights, or marriage rights? CNN and all other corporate media will not report on climate change on their own, it is up to keynote speakers to make it an unavoidable topic. If the past is any indication, it will be a silent plank, unless it is highlighted as a huge difference with the republican platform and talking points.

The until now silent planks of the platform, below.

of the party's position on climate change. Didn't know it required you to defend your president and party, sorry.

Probably best you return to the convention with all its pomp and glory, and don't let the convention door, ... ah, close so rapidly you miss the rabbit hole into wonderland.

right in between "oil and gas" and "clean coal."

in three days of convention. Each time it was inserted as a passing comment in between developing oil, gas and 'clean' coal. And this is from the party that postures environmental concern.

It did seem to flicker by . . . He didn't even bother to leverage the patent absurdity of Romney's remarks on climate.

Of course, it wouldn't have been all that outstanding next to the passive absurdity of "clean coal" and general climate inaction, I suppose.

with Clinton's passing comment couched between oil and gas exploration and 'clean' coal, and one other speaker stuttered of carbon and green house gasses; you add all that to Obama's skip over the topic and the total might have been 20 seconds. The problem was, by the time I realized they mentioned it they were already flitting to vagina chronicles, women's rights, gay rights, marriage rights, immigration rights and other topics more important than a livable planet. It was hard to hit the stop button on my watch fast enough.

I guess that's progress?
