Quote of the Week - Secretary of State John Kerry:  It is rare, rare, rare to get a super majority of studies to agree on anything.


"Now folks, we literally do not have the time to waste debating whether we can say “climate change.”  We have to talk about how we solve climate change.  Because no matter how much people want to bury their heads in the sand, it will not alter the fact that 97 percent of peer-reviewed climate studies confirm that climate change is happening and that human activity is largely responsible.  I have been involved in public policy debates now for 40-plus years, whatever, since the 1960s.  It is rare, rare, rare – I can tell you after 28 years-plus in the Senate – to get a super majority of studies to agree on anything.  But 97 percent, over 20-plus years – that’s a dramatic statement of fact that no one of good conscience has a right to ignore."

- U.S. Secretary of State, John Kerry
