really substantive, and diplomatic yet remarkably frank, remarks.
I took special pleasure in his concluding remarks on Mitt:

Q. As governor of your state, Massachusetts, Mitt Romney made progress on clean energy and climate change. Can you share any insights about his former life as an advocate of global-warming solutions?

A. Barely perceptible. He went along because the legislature pushed it. He never led on it. We had environmental activists in the state, we had a Democratic legislature, and they led the fight, but he’s never been an advocate. I’ve never heard his voice on it.

Q. So his flip-flop on this issue–

A. He’s flip-flopped on everything. No one really knows what he really believes.


I also liked the figure legend : " John Kerry, climate hawk and potential future secretary of state" ( I would rather have him stay as senator, but he'd also be a very fine SoS)
And, most of all, you could just feel the respect of the interviewer.. a refreshing change from the usual.. XXXX
