Obama channels his inner Al Gore in climate change messaging shift

The Hill's E2-Wire

quote:
As a second-term president who knows the GOP House will not legislate on carbon control issues, Obama and his people are now speaking mainly to and for environmentalists,” said Theda Skocpol, a Harvard government and sociology professor.
comment:

What's the angle here?  To shore up his base because he feels vulnerable?   Radical environmentalists tend to be white upper class types.  You know, the kind who need to feel morally superior.

If there's a problem, how does his proposals do anything to actually fix it?

There are solutions, but one might inquire as to whether or not these are just political moves, not true policy moves towards an actual solution that can work in the real world.
