During his 14 years as president and chief executive of the National Environmental Trust, Philip Clapp fought for legislation to combat global warming.

It is ending with the devastation of the Twin Trillions - the money spent on a foolish war in Iraq ($653 billion and counting) and on the bailout of a financial industry gone hog wild during the Reagan-initiated Era of Deregulation.
