The problem, when it comes to motivating politicians, is that the dangers from global warming— drought, famine, rising seas—【B5】______decades off.

Those are all sound arguments. They have not been enough to fully【B8】______the public, or overcome the lobbying efforts of the fossil fuel industry.
One can only hope that these arguments turn the tide in the Senate.
