Concord Monitor: Even in a campaign season where opinions diverge wildly, its hard to think of a topic with a broader range of candidate reactions than climate change. Democrats think its a big problem, perhaps the biggest problem facing the country, and requires a big government response, while Republicans tend to think either its not enough of a problem to worry about or it isnt a problem at all, perhaps even a massive hoax.

Ask the people of Miami Beach, where theyre elevating streets to cope with the unstoppable rise of sea water.
