The Greens are Nervous About Hillary's Climate Agenda

Just recently, the U.K.'s 'The Guardian' posted a story noting that a green activist group was sincerely upset with the fact that Hillary Clinton doesn't talk about climate change anymore.  In fact, a review of her speech transcripts showed that once she was endorsed by Bernie Sanders, the words "climate change" have generally disappeared from her campaign.

However, it isn't just  'The Guardian' that is questioning Hillary's dedication to climate change.  Liberal MSNBC criticized her in an opinion piece titled: "Clinton’s ‘comprehensive’ climate change policy is anything but".

Perhaps green activists should recognize that 'climate change' is a low priority among most Americans.  Why talk about it when there are better vote getting issues to discuss?
