Jerry Brown on climate skeptics?: "We are really in a war here...If it's like this five years from now, it's over"

Gov. Brown: Pay Attention to Climate Change - Business - Mountain View, CA Patch
Brown, speaking to about 100 people at the Water, Energy and Smart Technology Summit at the NASA Ames Research Park at Moffett Field, said, "We are really in a war here. You have to reach people who are disinterested and somewhat hostile."
...
"This is about activism," Brown continued. "This is about converting people. This is an important challenge. If it's like this five years from now, it's over."
...He said the media emphasizes trivial stories that are only relevant for a short time. The governor said climate change is not seen as important as "getting the 50th Super Bowl. It's silly."
