Yeasayers Yea-Say Break Through
New indie band digs Break Through

A member of the new band, "Yeasayer," yea-says Break Through in Pitchfork magazine:

I've been reading this book called Break Through. I read about it in Wired magazine. It sparked my interest because it's about global warming. But it's saying the liberals have it just as wrong as the republicans. It's basically saying that there needs to be a paradigm shift completely... Basically what these guys are proposing is that the only way you could fix the problem is by linking economic progress with environmentalism, through a kind of Manhattan Project sort of thing, where you get a president in power who realizes we're fucked here, and we need to send $300 billion to employee people to solve this problem, to fix up our world. And what they're saying is there's limitless potential for human creativity, which is something Yeasayer firmly believes in.

Here's a picture of the band:

I agree. However, it's not as black and white as you make it sound. When the article refers to liberals, it's referring to mainstream liberals who believe that eating organic and driving prius's will solve the crisis. There are many other liberals who understand this is not enough.
