Happy Olympics. Loving the events! The US is doing pretty well. And vs. Russia in the medal count too. Remember what a big deal that was growing up in the Cold War? Makes me nostalgic (loved the Soviet/US astronaut friendship feature), thinking how some big things have changed. Now bigger threats, rather than worrying about Soviet nukes, are terrorism and climate change. The second is positioned to be the worst by far. Quiet and insidious, one of the problems with climate change is that it's an adversary that is tough to envision (big hint: oil, coal, individual apathy and the power of greed). We as a great country rally. Bode Miller got bronze. If we as a nation get this on the podium, we will win.

(CNN) -- Saying that climate change ranks among the world's most serious problems -- such as disease outbreaks, poverty, terrorism and the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction -- U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry called on all nations to respond to "the greatest challenge of our generation."
Kerry said he and Obama had no time for what he called the "Flat Earth Society." It will soon be too late for action to prevent the immense costs of doing nothing. People who refuse to look at the evidence and agree on change are "burying their heads" in the sand, he said.
