It perfectly describes the attention he has attracted in the decade since he took to the stage at the Sundance Film Festival and set off global warming fears with his agitprop film, "An Inconvenient Truth." "Humans may have only 10 years left to save the planet from turning into a total frying pan," one terrified reviewer, who is presumably still unfried, put it. Humankind has blown past the point of no return that he said would render the damage from man-made greenhouse gases irreversible. Yet the world continues to turn, not burn. Atmospheric anxiety has subsided, despite all that Hillary and Bernie can do to keep it alive, and Americans have moved on to more immediate issues, such as who's likely to win the Super Bowl on Sunday.https://climatechangedispatch.com/wp-content/uploads/images_pics8_obama_whcd.jpg
