Al Franken: Climate Change ‘an Existential Threat’ to the Planet

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
FRANKEN: "I think climate change is a threat to the world, it’s an existential threat. This decision on Paris is the wrong decision. It’s stupid. You know, you talk to anybody in the defense department. They know the quadrennial review, talk about, but this is the worst threat to our national security and because there are going to be hundreds of millions of refugees if we don’t do something about climate change. I write in my book, I don’t want my kids — my grandchildren saying to me, grandpa, you were a United States senator. You knew climate change was happening, why didn’t you do anything and also why are you still alive. Because I’d be 116 at that point."
