Obama gets it


At a time when the Koch Brothers are attacking green energy sources, when candidates for congress deny obvious climate change, and when the average American worries more about the Kardashians than about carbon dioxide and methane, it is so refreshing to have a President who understands the importance of leading the world in reducing greenhouses gasses.

In 50 years historians will see how important were the President’s efforts to do something about our planetary destruction.  People will look at Senators Cruz and Rubio as obstructionists who put political ambition ahead of saving the planet.  They will be the bad guys of our era.

On the other hand, with the global climate change that is occurring, the resulting wars and violence may have plunged us into a new Dark Age, and people will be too busy trying to survive to think about history.  No one will remeber the Koch Brothers or Rubio or Cruz--or the Kardashians.
