President Obama is receiving praise for his fine-sounding speech at the Glacier Conference in Alaska Monday on the urgency of combating global warming. If the soaring rhetoric, reminiscent of Obama circa 2008, were married to concrete action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, I'd be happy to join the acclaim.
changing along with the spectacular scenery, that s the backdrop to the ongoing debate. now, when the president lands here, he s going to be meeting with some locals and also take part in this glacier conference. secretary of state john kerry is here as well. tomorrow he goes to the exit glacier and he s going to be doing something we haven t seen him do before, although he s done some popular television. he s going to tape a segment for running wild with bare girls. we ve seen people like zac efron do it. he s going to be learning some skills in the alaska wilds and there s joking about if he can survive washington, alaska shouldn t be any trouble at all. chris jansing, thank you very much. enjoy the cool alaska air while we re having our heat wave starting in the northeast. appreciate it. thank you.
