Thirty years ago, a different future was available. Gradual climate policies could have slowly steered our economy towards gently declining carbon pollution levels. The costs to most Americans would have been imperceptible. But that future was stolen from us. It was stolen by powerful, carbon-polluting interests who blocked policy reforms at every turn to preserve their short-term profits. They locked each of us into an economy where fossil fuel consumption continues to be a necessity, not a choice.

When a cell doubles and redoubles, sequestering nutrients and resources, unchecked and uncontrolled, to the detriment of the surrounding tissue and eventually the entire body, we call it 'cancer'. When a person sequesters wealth and resources, land and corporations, drunk on power, unchecked and uncontrolled, to the detriment of others and eventually to society, we call them 'billionaires'. Greed is a disease.
