The chances that significant climate action will actually happen, however, remain slim, policy experts say. African-American rescues lost tribal treasures Science editor Alan Boyle's blog: An African-American family researcher is bringing ceremonial masks and other cultural artifacts back to Cameroon — after buying them on eBay. "I always have hope, but it is sometimes hard to see how real progress, substantial progress, is going to be made with the fact that the Congress is so polarized," said Travis Franck, a policy analyst for nongovernmental organization Climate Interactive. After his re-election, Obama told Time magazine that his daughters inspired him to think long term, particularly about issues of climate change.

Key:

  • Aggregate Sentiment is meant to be an indicator of an individual's overall sentiment.
  • The Mean is meant to be an indicator of an individual's average comment sentiment.
  • The Standard Deviation, when there are enough quotes, will indicate an individual's consistency of sentiment (i.e. a Standard Deviation of 0 would mean they were very consistent in their sentiment and 1 would mean they were very inconsistent).

Note that quote stats are likely to be meaningless beyond the aggregate score due to the tiny sample size. However, they are always provided just in case you find something useful there.
