to talk about the president's speech is michael brune, executive director of the sierra club. re very appreciative of your time in coming into "the war room" today. thanks so much. >> hi, michael. thanks for having me on. >> michael: the president prom mitted to act on climate changes in his inaugural address. let's listen to that. >> obama: we will respond to the threat of climate change knowing that failing to do so would betray our children and future generations. >> michael: will he now push this issue forward, or is his speech just a way to appease environmentalists? >> no, i thought his speech was great. and it's ancation -- an indication that fighting climate change will be a priority for him. in contrast to the supreme court, today was an uplifting experience in terms of climate change. he said fighting climate change is a priority, and he is going after the largest sources of greenhouse gas emissions with a smart set of policies that will accelerate a transition to clean engive. >> michael: did you get the feeling that he couldn't say these things in the last campaign,
