Angela Anderson, Director of UCS Climate and Energy Program: "The president is taking up the mantle of educator-in-chief on climate change. His speech was striking because it revealed a deep understanding of the consequences of climate change we're already seeing. He recognizes our responsibility to protect future generations and he made the case that our prosperity and our climate are intrinsically linked."
