I Think It's A Very Legitimate Aspect Of American Life To Criticize And To Disagree And To Debate. But I Want To Say I Think It's A Lie To Say That The President Lied To The American People.

Some Urge We Do Nothing Because We Can't Be Certain How Bad The (climate) Problem Might Become Or They Presume The Worst Effects Are Most Likely To Occur In Our Grandchildren's Lifetime.

We Have Many Advantages In The Fight Against Global Warming, But Time Is Not One Of Them. Instead Of Idly Debating The Precise Extent Of Global Warming, Or The Precise Timeline Of Global Warming, We Need To Deal With The Central Facts Of Rising Temperatures, Rising Waters, And All The Endless Troubles That Global Warming Will Bring. We Stand Warned By Serious And Credible Scientists Across The World That Time Is Short And The Dangers Are Great. The Most Relevant Question Now Is Whether Our Own Government Is Equal To The Challenge.
