President Obama Climate Speech - Obama Bails Out The Ocean With A Thimble - Esquire

"The most remarkable thing about the president's big speech on climate this afternoon was that it was considered remarkable at all. Everybody except the deliberately ignorant, or senators from Oklahoma, but I repeat myself, believes that climate change is the most critical issue facing the planet since some particularly bright hadrosaur in the Yucatan looked up and thought, "Hey, what's that big rock doing in the sky there?" However, because the American political system is a buyer's market for deliberate ignorance, what the president said today will be reckoned as a landmark in coping with the incredibly obvious."

As usual, Pierce nails it. (And there's more.)
