What does it say about the fourth estate and the presidential debate moderators that it fell to MTV to break the climate silence by finally asking one of the candidates about climate change?ย 

Oh well, at least it’s broken now. H/T Forecast Theย Facts

To the 2012 Presidential Debate moderators, here’s a little tribute to all of you for failing to ask any questions about the single largest threat to U.S. national security, public health and the economy. I’m looking at you Candy โ€œall you climate change peopleโ€ Crowley, Jim Lehrer, and Bob โ€œ200 questionsโ€ Schieffer. You all just got owned by MTV, that bastion of vital political coverage.

Take a bow, Sway Calloway!
