Climate One host Greg Dalton asks NASA's James Hansen how he thinks President Obama is doing in addressing climate change. "Without a price on carbon, all you do by reducing your emissions [through solar panels and efficient vehicles] is reduce the demand for the fossil fuel, make it cheaper and somebody else will burn it. We have to actually leave those fossil fuels in the ground," says Hansen.
