Obama made a point of highlighting how much emphasis he gave the issue after Representative Henry A. Waxman (Democrat-Calif.) thanked him afterward for mentioning climate change.
“I didn’t just mention it, I talked about it,” Obama parried, according to Waxman.

My own personal favourite for this week:
” […] we should make no mistake [that] without concerted action the next generation will be roasted, toasted, fried and grilled.”
Christine Lagarde, Managing Director, IMF, addressing the World Economic Forum in Davos on January 23rd, 2013 saying that … more important than debt [issues] is Climate Change which is bar far the greatest economic challenge in the 21st century.
I fully agree it is a great quote. Not one that we would expect from the head of the IMF. Hope the IMF will take the lead in ensuring we don’t end up roasted, toasted, fried and grilled.
