In the episode titled “Swept Away” (http://forums.previously.tv/topic/54975-s03e16-swept-away/?do=getLastComment) of CBS’s Madam Secretary Sunday night, Secretary of State Elizabeth McCord (Tea Leoni) is planning a meeting with the Dalai Lama but is keeping it quiet until China signs on to President Dalton’s climate change agreement – the Stockholm Protocol, which is described as "the moon shot of our generation."

At the very beginning of the show, the viewer is assaulted with climate change propaganda. As eldest McCord daughter Stephanie (Stevie) – interning in the office of the White House Chief of Staff - watches a cable news network’s reaction to the president’s State of the Union address, her parents walk in and she asks if they think the U.S. Senate will ratify the agreement. Mom and Dad are quick to answer that the president is prepared to “bulldoze the deniers.” They also deliver the socialist message of economic sacrifice for “the greater good.” Spare me.
