BO on climate change...yesterday

[Gipper]

What we do know is the temperature around the globe is increasing. Faster than was predicted even ten years ago. We do know that the Arctic ice cap is melting, faster than was predicted even five years ago. We do know that there have been extraordinarily -- there -- there have been an extraordinarily large number of severe weather events here in North America, but also around the globe.
And I am a firm believer that climate change is real. That it is impacted by human behavior, and carbon emissions. And as a consequence, I think we’ve got an obligation to future generations to do something about it.
Now, in my first term, we doubled fuel efficiency standards on cars and trucks. That will have an impact. That will take a lot of carbon out of the atmosphere. We doubled the production of clean energy, which promises to reduce the utilization of fossil fuels for power generation. And we continue to invest in potential breakthrough technologies that could further remove carbon from our atmosphere.
But we haven’t done as much as we need to. So, what I’m going to be doing over the next several weeks -- next several months is having a conversation, a wide-ranging conversation with scientists, engineers, and elected officials to find out what can -- what more can we do to make short-term progress in reducing carbons, and then, you know, working through an education process that I think is necessary -- a discussion, a conversation across the country about, you know, what realistically can we do long term to make sure that this is not something we’re passing on to future generations that’s going to be very expensive and very painful to deal with.
I don’t know what -- what either Democrats or Republicans are prepared to do at this point, because, you know, this is one of those issues that’s not just a partisan also. I also think there’s -- there are regional differences. There’s no doubt that for us to take on climate change in a serious way would involve making some tough political choices. And, you know, understandably, I think the American people right now have been so focused, and will continue to be focused on our economy and jobs and growth that, you know, if the message is somehow we’re going to ignore jobs and growth simply to address climate change, I don’t think anybody’s gonna go for that. I won’t go for that.
If on the other hand we can shape an agenda that says we can create jobs, advance growth, and make a serious dent in climate change and be an international leader, I think that’s something that the American people would support.

What a bunch of hooey. AGW is a hoax and has been proven so, yet BO persists with lies.
Well some of us know it is not ignorance that drives the AGW movement and it's leaders, it is all about increasing the power of the power elite, at the expense of the rest of us.

Here is a fun game: Count the number of things in there that are not true. Then see if you can figure out when it is a lie and when he is deluded.

If alcohol did not kill when the level in the blood got too high we could make it a drinking game.

Half of those don't even know he's lying. O'Reilly had one of those "man on the street" episodes. Obama voters were asked questions about the recent election and could only parrot the outright lies they were told.

The U.S. leads the world , but don’t tell anyone: Efforts to curb so-called man-made climate change had little or nothing to do with it. Government mandated “green” energy didn’t cause the reductions. Neither did environmentalist pressure. And the U.S. did not go along with the Kyoto Protocol to radically cut CO2 emissions. Instead, the drop came about through market forces and technological advances, according to a report from the International Energy Agency. …”It’s good news and good news doesn’t get reported as much,” John Griffin, executive director of Associated Petroleum Industries of Michigan, said of the lack of reporting about the CO2 reductions. “The mainstream media doesn’t want to report these kinds of things.” Doesn’t fit the narrative.

Hi everyone, its been awhile. had a few personal reasons.

So man made co2 is less than one percent of one per of all emissions and carbon is a minor player as far as global warming goes. If the man made component were reduced by a whopping ten percent it would have zero effect on the global warming that would be a welcome change from this winter if it were in fact real.
