That there is and has been strong public support for climate control and other ecological issues is, I'm afraid, also evidence that these issues cannot, themselves, be the basis of any mass movement. That support is, as Gar says, weak tea. It is evidence that, if a strong mass movement of the left should arise around other issues (a Movement of Movement), such a left _would_ incorporate ecological demands, and those wouldin turn strengthen such a left. But the abstract future of the earth as a habitable planet simply is not the sort of thing mass mvements are built of. It is nearly impossible to formulate the demands abut which such amovement could organize itself. Remember, mass movements need a negative at their center.
