Climate Change and the Green Party by Gary Swing
Gary Swing is a leader in the Green Party and has formed the Boiling Frog Party to convey information in a humorous way. He recently got the highest percentage vote for United States Senate of any Green Party Candidate in the United States.

(Unfortunately the Green Party in 2016 made several severe mistakes which set it back, but Mr. Swing shows the way forward.) Additional documentation appear at the end of the article.
