The only reason the government has failed to act against climate change — which will spur disease, cost millions in emergency funds to address natural disasters, at times grind the economy to a halt with extreme weather events, and eradicate valuable coastal property — is because corporations have too much power over our lawmakers.

It’s no accident that the same Koch brothers who are the major funders of climate denial were a driving force behind the Citizens United lawsuit that removed virtually all restrictions on corporations as political actors. The Nation reported yesterday that Koch Industries provided its employees with a voters’ guide last November, encouraging votes for climate denying candidates.

It was the voters, not the Koch brothers that kicked the Democrats out of the House. If there was strong support for AGW regulation, that would have never happened.
