And yet according to Podesta, Obama will make climate change a top priority.

Via NBC/WSJ:

Q: As President Obama prepares to deliver his State of the Union address, there are many important issues facing the country. I’m going to list some of these issues. Recognizing that all these issues may be important but that not every single one can be a top priority for the President and Congress, for each one please tell me whether you think it should be an absolute priority for the Obama administration and THIS year’s Congress, it is something that can be delayed until next year, or something that you think the Obama administration and Congress should not pursue.
