Barack “Climate Change” Obama
Woe to the land thats governed by a child. Shakespeare, Richard III
I have been wrestling for some kind of explanation why the President of the United States, Barack Obama, would continue to talk about climate change and urge the global transition from fossil fuels to wind, solar and bio-energy. I have concluded that he thinks everyone, not just Americans, are idiots.
We know he lies about everything, but these two topics are clearly near and dear to his heart.
My friend, Paul Driessen, is a policy analyst for the Committee for a Constructive Tomorrow, a free market think tank. Among the pundit class hes ranked very high by his colleagues. Heres what he has to say about climate change:
Earth climate always has changed, is always changing, and always will changebut not from fossil-fuel use. Solar fluctuations, deep ocean circulation patterns, and other powerful natural forces have driven climate change and weather events throughout Earths history and will continue to do so.
President Obamas hubris is breathtaking. He now thinks an army of regulators can control our planets temperature and climate by tweaking emissions of plant-fertilizing carbon dioxide, a mere 0.04% of the atmosphere.
Americas communities do not need to be protected from climate change. They need to be protected from the excesses of authoritarian presidents and bureaucrats.
Driessen and I look at and listen to Obama and wonder if others too see and hear someone uttering some of the most absurd claims about the climate. Then we worry that this someone is the President of the United States with the power to turn his ignorance into national policy.
At this point we have suffered his initial failure to respond to the recession he inherited from the 2008 financial crisis. More than six years later the economy has barely moved toward a normal rate of growth. Then we were gifted with ObamaCare and the disruption of what was widely regarded as the best health system in the world. And, for good measure, he imposed Common Core on an already weakened educational system. It is being repealed and opposed in many states. For good measure, his foreign policy, if he has one, is widely regarded as a total failure.
How is it a former community organizer possesses a seemingly vast understanding of meteorology? Did they also teach that at the Harvard Law School? Climate change, said Obama, addressing a graduating class of the Coast Guard Academy, constitutes a serious threat to global security, an immediate risk to our national security, and make no mistake; it will impact how our military defends our country.
Our military and our combatant commanders, the President told the Academy graduates, our servicesincluding the Coast Guardwill need to factor climate change into plans and operations, because you need to be ready. For what? For a rainstorm? For snow? Wind?
This is the same President who sees no threat to our national security from Iran whose leaders shout Death to America every day when they arent also shouting Death to Israel. He has zealously been pursuing a deal that would enable Iran, the leading supporter of terrorism, to have nuclear weapons. Meanwhile Islamic State (ISIS) is taking over more territory in northern Iraq and into Syria. Obama might as well be dropping bags of marshmallows on them.
He blamed climate change in the form of severe droughts for the rise of Islamism in the Middle East and Africa. Someone needs to tell Obama that there have always been severe droughts somewhere on the planet, and floods, and forest fires, and blizzards, and hurricanes. Even so, in the last eighteen years, there have actually been LESS of these natural events, along with the flatlining of the planets overall or average temperaturethere has been no warming!
Not content to blame climate change for the rise of terrorism, the White House issued a report that was described as a doomsday scenario of health, security, economic and political issues. The thing about climate is that it measured in centuries, not years. As for the weather, while records are maintained, it is usually reported as todays news with a forecast of the coming week. http://www.tpnn.com/2015/05/27/barack-climate-change-obama/
