Climate silence at the debate

the "horses and bayonets" line was memorable. Again, though, we heard nothing about climate change or global warming at last night's final debate. Andrew Revkin tries to find a silver lining in that straightjacket of silence.
"Given how little progress has been made through the years when global warming did come up, perhaps the silence this year signals a change?
After all, the reality is that Obama has moved pretty aggressively, if quietly, to roll out restrictions on greenhouse gas emissions through regulations, tighter standards for energy use and vehicle fuel economy and pursue policies fostering a shift from coal to gas.
Is a little climate silence golden?"
Always look on the bright side...
