This is the political scene, a weekly conversation with New Yorker writers and editors about politics.

It's Thursday, December 13th. I'm Dorothy Wickenden, executive editor of The New Yorker.

In President Obama's first term, his energy bill was defeated after coming very close to passing,

and he then pretty much dropped the issue of climate change.

During the campaign, this past campaign, the most pressing issue facing the entire world was barely mentioned.

And in his victory speech, Obama alluded to it, but only briefly.

We want our children to live in America that isn't burdened by debt, that isn't weakened by inequality, that isn't

threatened by the destructive power of a warming planet.

But it looks as though our children will be burdened by at least the last two of those three

disasters and quite probably all three, I'm sorry to say. I'll be talking today to Elizabeth

Colbert and the environmental economist Robert Stavans about the politics of climate change and what might still be achievable.

Welcome back to the program, Rob.
