Newly official Republican presidential candidate Carly Fiorina was on Tuesday's Late Night, and along with amusingly informing Seth Meyers that she just purchased the domain name SethMeyers.org (well-played, Fiorina), she acknowledged that she believes climate change is caused by humans. "I'm prepared to take the scientists at their word," she said, "but the problem is we never finish the scientists' sentence.... A single nation acting alone can make no difference at all."
Lest you think Fiorina is backing President Obama's push to enact an enforceable global pact on reducing greenhouse-gas emissions or cheering his landmark deals with China and India, fear not. "Why would we destroy all these jobs with regulation when the answer to climate change is innovation, not regulation?" she asked. There follows a short but interesting conversation on when and how the U.S. can and should lead in the world, and then Fiorina changes the subject to Russian President Vladimir Putin, who is both "a bad dude" and funny. —Peter Weber
