Obama really does get it

Here’s what he said at the U.N.:

For all the immediate challenges that we gather to address this week—terrorism, instability, inequality, disease—there’s one issue that will define the contours of this century more dramatically than any other, and that is the urgent and growing threat of a changing climate.

That changing climate results from human activity.  I recently read that only six percent of Republican congress members even “believe” in climate change.  In my own district a candidate for Congress named Moylin denies that the earth is getting warmer.  After November our President may confront a Congress controlled by the willfully ignorant, elected by willfully ignorant people.  We have a real battle ahead.
