You can’t understand what Trump’s doing without understanding the “Carbon Bubble”

American journalists, pundits and media executives have largely convinced themselves that climate change is not a serious political issue, because they think the polls tell them that. A majority of American voters regularly tell pollsters they don’t think climate change is a critically important election issue, so therefore the media decides it must not be an important political issue at all.

Unfortunately, that conventional wisdom blinds us to both to the actual bedrock reality of this era, and to — as this author sees it — the defining aim of the in-coming Trump administration: delaying climate action.
