Ron, Thanks for saying what I have been saying for a while, and what has had me quite stressed lately. There is a bazillion other environmental issues (the one I focus on, global sanitation and wastewater governance, is one of the least popular) at the global scale and climate change seems to always be front and center. Yes, everything can (and will/is) be connected to climate change, but there are other issues that deserve scholarly attention, and I'm going to take your comment as a well-established scholar of international environmental politics, to now issue a call to my fellow GEP researchers to remember that there's a lot more to GEP than just climate politics :)
