“I refuse to condemn your generation and future generations to a planet that’s beyond fixing,” President Obama said to a gathering of students. In clear support of scientists he gave a blow to skeptics of climate change in saying “We don’t have time for a meeting of the flat earth society.”
Is this the first of a political sea-change? Though the talk was short on action and specifics, its clear President Obama will continue to accept the bounty of fracking as a transition fuel and the plan calls for more nuclear.
“President Obama just laid out his plan to address climate change, and as we were hoping he gave the Climate Declaration a shout out. The Declaration helped to give the President the critical support he needed from the business community” reports CERES.
