Global climate change is the most urgent issue facing us today, he said.

8. Can't wait to bounce this off of my republican somewhat fascist-ish GF

She's a big fan of his and watched the Oscars. She's too smart for the blunt approach; I'm gonna' zing her with subtle cognitive dissonance.

9. Oh yeah.

He did a great job at thanking and then presenting this important issue. He's worked with Thom Hartmann on this for years.

My thought on this is how Al Gore won in 2006?...and how people were concerned about climate change, but the populace was so easily moved later to not give a fuck.

It's like the Koch brothers having a mouse moving a nation's concerns.
