Des Moines: Fallon on climate change

I sense a distinct lack of excitement and enthusiasm in this post about a climate change news conference in "cold weather" in Des Moines.

Excerpts:
He said climate change would be one of his top five priorities and he would “want to put a lot of time” into the issue as a congressman.
...
It was a surprisingly short news conference, scheduled to last for an hour but ending within thirty minutes. None of the reporters, including a cameraman who interviewed Fallon briefly at the beginning, seemed to know what to ask.
That "one of his top five priorities" phrase is significant. If you really believed the "CO2 may kill us all" hype of Branson, Bloomberg, etc, there's just no way that global warming would be only a "top five" priority.

I think that deep down, even most global warming "believers" don't truly believe in the ridiculous hype.
