It's the Climate, Stupid!

Back in 1992 when he was running for President of the USA, Bill Clinton was trying to emphasize the state of the economy. One of his staffers wanted to remind the campaign workers of this and put a big note up in the campaign office saying "It's the economy, stupid!". This became a bit of a catch cry for the campaign. Nowadays, global warming and climate change are the big issues facing the world. Unless we fix those problems, a lot of other things are going to get worse, including the economy, poverty, land degradation and so on. Yet there are still a lot of world leaders and people in big business who want to procrastinate, delay and obfuscate. This song is for them.
