CCL, according to Wikipedia, is an environmental group that trains and supports volunteers to build relationships with their Members of Congress to influence climate policy.

It is supported by climate scientist James Hansen, known as the “godfather of catastrophic anthropogenic global warming,” and was director of NASA’s Goddard Institute from 1981 to 2013.

One of his claims was the burning of Earth’s fossil fuel guarantees “unstoppable changes” in our planet’s climate.

He relied on computer models for predictions and the use of one statistical figure for Earth’s surface temperature.

He travelled the world setting dates for his claims of catastrophe, but time proved him wrong.

CCL’s aim is for Congress to stop subsidising the fossil fuel industry to reduce man-made emissions of carbon dioxide, and like Sandy, calling it carbon.

Carbon dioxide is not a pollutant but a necessity for life in Earth’s environment.

Without it there would be no farms or food sources, indeed no life.

Particulates/soot are pollutants - they are washed out of modern fossil-fuelled power production.

Why the crescendo in Greens propaganda?

In December 2015, in Paris, the Greens-dominated UN Framework Convention on Climate Change will seek universal support to prevent dangerous man-made interference with the climate system, with the intent to transform the world’s economy according to its requirements - not by evolutive development.

The Obama administration is, politically, behind it, spending big on propaganda that focuses on carbon pollution, to the exclusion of natural forces.

It will fail because the major Asian nations are too concerned about the needs of their populations.
