Yes, Americans may "warm up" to the issue once more. The only thing about climate change is, it's not as dramatic and self-evident as the burning rivers and smog-choked skies. It requires a little more awareness, and it's more complicated for journalists because it involves complex scientific findings. GMO agriculture is also a possible hot issue. Interest in the environment could become an important political topic once again. That would be nice.
