Our Senator Jack Reed is also a pretty smart guy.

U.S. Rep. Jim Langevin (D) is not so swell, though. My congressional district will take it on the chin for that one.

here we've got Bernie, Leahy and Welch…

Whitehouse is ok in my book (my SO is from Providence and I get the lowdown about RI politics from him)

Time is NOT on OUR SIDE with regards to Climate Change...our future is already severely threatened and billions of humans will perish due to these very real threats. Yeah, time is on our side with regards to accepting Climate Change in the USA eventually, but ladies and gentlemen, we are outta time.
