To me, that is a horribly misleading title. It seems that Hansen is making the point that you can't bet on a second term, and if you want to install climate change policy, then you're going to have to do it in the next 4 years - to take advantage of the current political situation.

"We cannot afford to put off change any longer," said Hansen. "We have to get on a new path within this new administration. We have only four years left for Obama to set an example to the rest of the world. America must take the lead."

TT interprets it correctly. It is still a dumb premise though. Putting all your eggs in one basket, the Obama basket. If we don't get a jump on this now, we are screwed in other words.
