In addition to more robust spam filtering and moderation, new features include the ability to rate other comments, sort how they are displayed and respond directly via e-mail or in a thread.

Unfortunately, commenters will lose their existing Truthdig identities. It's a pain, we know, but on the plus side you will now be able to log in with a plethora of options, including Google, Twitter, Facebook and Disqus accounts.

Before launching this system we spent months in discussion with our top commenters. We listened to the feedback and we hope you like what we've come up with.

This cartoon says it all. There is no issue as important as climate change. If we don’t get a handle on it, nothing else will matter.
Unfortunately, we may have already left it too late, not for the planet, the planet will get by. But for civilization, which is greatly more fragile than most people think. It will take several decades after we change our ways to begin a turnaround. First the insurance companies will begin to go broke. The crises will start coming too close on one another and the calls for assistance will go largely unheaded. Entire countries will become disaster zones, and that will become the status quo. Some of this has already happened.
