Obama Climate Change Promise - YouTube
[Late 2008] President-elect Obama recorded a message for the Global Climate Summit, promising "a new chapter of American leadership on climate change."
Obama claims we're seeing "storms that are growing stronger with each passing hurricane system".
He gives a planet-healing shoutout to Rod Blagojevich, who was later sentenced to 14 years on 18 corruption convictions.
He uses the phrase"saving the planet" and promises to generate "five million new green jobs that pay well and can't be outsourced".

Remarks as Delivered:
...Now is the time to confront this challenge once and for all. Delay is no longer an option. Denial is no longer an acceptable response. The stakes are too high. The consequences, too serious. Stopping climate change won’t be easy. It won’t happen overnight. But I promise you this: When I am President, any governor who’s willing to promote clean energy will have a partner in the White House. Any company that’s willing to invest in clean energy will have an ally in Washington. And any nation that’s willing to join the cause of combating climate change will have an ally in the United States of America. Thank you.
...Few challenges facing America – and the world – are more urgent than combating climate change. The science is beyond dispute and the facts are clear. Sea levels are rising. Coastlines are shrinking. We’ve seen record drought, spreading famine, and storms that are growing stronger with each passing hurricane season.
