K & R if you want DU to add "Climate Change" as a new Topic to post new threads to.

Right now I do not see one and I never know where to post climate change news.

Should it be General Discussion? Politics? National Security? Energy?

Am I missing it? Is there a "Climate Change" topic to post to?

Climate Change should be its own topic.

Environmental Activism isnt even a topic under activism.

Right now we do get climate related posts frequently in our group.

It's not like our subforums or subgroups are brimming with activity, we barely have enough to keep the primary group worth checking each day.

Why segregate the discussion further? What's the purpose of this? It's not like you've posted in E and E. Shouldn't the regulars decide?

I didnt realize it was even there , nor did I realize the content. I also thought climate change is a little bit more attention grabbing than e&e.

Climate Change means something different than

Environment

or

Energy

to

me, even though it is all related.

But since I see that E&E is a great place to post about climate change, I will do so although I think Climate Change should be a topic unto itself.

to relevant statistics to the top: http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1127&pid=3566

The group is primarily about climate change and everything related to it. Nuclear energy is argued about because the question is whether it is needed to slow climate change.
