Script of "Melting" (TV)

TALKING CANDLE: Sure, climate change is a problem, but let’s not rush into anything.

Let’s study it a while longer, maybe earmark some tax money for a few projects, appoint some commissions.

Hey, we could get companies to volunteer to cut their pollution. That’s a prudent plan.

ANNOUNCER [v/o]: The Climate Security Act will protect our kids’ future and create jobs, but only if we move quickly.

TALKING CANDLE: Remember, haste makes waste.
