text: Theres no doubt that for us to take on climate change in a serious way would involve making some tough political choices, and you know, understandably, I think the American people right now have been so focused and will continue to be focused on our economy and jobs and growth that, you know, if the message is somehow were going to ignore jobs and growth simply to address climate change, I dont think anybodys going to go for that. I wont go for that. If, on the other hand, we can shape an agenda that says we can create jobs, advance growth and make a serious dent in climate change and be an international leader, I think thats something that the American people would support.
