Bush famously received an intelligence briefing entitled, “Bin Laden Determined to Strike in U.S.” Thirty-six days later, al Qaeda terrorists did just that.
Today, as the leaders of the G-8 and the members U.S. Senate simultaneously debate climate-change policy shifts, scientists tell us we have a 10-year window—if even that—before catastrophic climate change becomes inevitable and irreversible. So I’ve put together the briefing that needs to be read by every American—before it’s the Day After.
The scientific community agrees that climate change is real, human activity is contributing to it, and the window for doing something about it is closing rapidly.
Go to the link to read the rest. It is on the front page of the website. I am glad Sen. Kerry is contributing to HuffPo and The Daily Beast. Although I have issues with both sites (well, I have issues with pretty much every site -- none are perfect), they are new media and run by women. Good that Kerry is putting himself out there on new media which like it or not is the future.
