 refer to the politics of environment — and government-backed 
 environmental protection — via instrumental policies that will reduce 
 carbon dioxide and greenhouse gases.  As more and more Americans look for a 
 response to the realities of climate change, Frontline correspondent 
 Deborah Amos investigates the political decisions that have prevented the 
 United States government from confronting one of the most serious problems 
 facing humanity today.  With this documentary, writer-producer Peter Bull 
 and Frontline correspondent Deborah Amos, aggressively and convincingly 
 demonstrate that the United States government continues to travel miles out 
 of its way to skirt around the issue of global warming.  Despite the 
 persistent warning of the IPCC that the connection between fossil fuels and 
 global warming is 90% certain, the U.S. government continues to engage in 
 acts of gross malfeasance that supersede one president, including: 
 President George H.W. Bush’s push to make CO2 emission targets 
 “voluntary,” President Bill Clinton’s negligence in securing 
 Senate-backed ratification of the Kyoto Treaty, and President George W. 
 Bush’s full withdrawal from the Kyoto accords.  Together, these 
 presidents have helped to drive greenhouse gases up to obscene and unheard 
 of levels.  Via in-depth discussions with environmental activists and 
 crusaders, Peter Bull underscores the notion that the United States fails 
 to respond to the issue of global climate change as adequately as other 
 nations, and investigates the reasons why this is so.  This film is brought 
 to us by Frontline and the Center for Investigative 
 Reporting.\n\nWheelchair accessible around the corner at  411  28th
