Obama says climate change a matter of national security
Reuters ^ | December 9, 2008 | Steve Holland

Posted on 12/09/2008 9:16:23 PM PST by flattorney

Abstract: President-elect Barack Obama said attacking global climate change is a "matter of urgency" that will create jobs as he got advice from Al Gore, who won a Nobel Peace Prize for his work on the issue. Obama made clear he would adopt an aggressive approach to global warming when he takes over the White House on January 20. He and Vice President-elect Joe Biden met for nearly two hours with Gore at Obama's presidential transition office in Chicago. Obama hopes addressing climate change can create the kind of jobs that will help pull the U.S. economy out of a deepening recession. "This is a matter of urgency and of national security and it has to be dealt with in a serious way. That's what I intend my administration to do," Obama said.

Obama had a willing partner in Gore. Just two days after Obama won the November 4 election, Gore's Alliance for Climate Protection rolled out a media campaign to push for immediate investments in energy efficiency, renewable power generation like wind and solar technology and the creation of a unified national power grid.

I have no problem moving away from hydrocarbons.......... just as soon as a viable alternative becomes available, something that can't be brought about by gov't fiat. Elsewise, all we'll see is regression, not the creation of jobs. These bozo's will take us straight to the 19th century.

"Obama says climate change a matter of national security."

Sounds like a precursor to the eventual gutting of DHS and DoD budgets to fight the evil Global Climate change that is "A Matter of National Security."

So, What the heck is a "Unified National Power Grid" anyways. Is this the attempt to nationalize utility services?

Yes, I suppose if it becomes too cold in police and fire stations in Winter, response times might drop a little. In that sense, it's a national security issue.

Bravo Sierra!

The meeting today was to get stories straight concerning their relationship with Blago. Remember, Gore's 2000 campaign finance chairman has already been sentenced to time in a Federal pen as part of his role in the Blago affair.

LOL. Karma, Karma..... Yes, Al Gore had more reason to feel ill today, since a twist of fate had put him at Obama's Chicago HQ on the very morning that the testimony of his own former National Finance Chairman, Joseph Cari, was part of the indictment against Blago and Harris. Cari previously pled out to extortion in his own case:

see pp. 14-15 in PDF linked below for some of the relationship between Al Gore's fundraiser Joseph Cari and Blago:

"26. Cari was a significant fundraiser for Democratic causes and was previously the national finance chair for Vice President Al Gore’s 2000 presidential campaign. During his testimony, Cari described meetings that he had with ROD BLAGOJEVICH, Chris Kelly, Rezko, and Stuart Levine7."

Why not just send large quantities of dust into the stratosphere, if global warming is such a threat? That is a much simpler solution than some carbon credit scheme.

I am somewhat amazed that the Algore Effect didn't kick in. That would have meant a foot of snow and temps in the single digits. I guess the heat from the Blago mess canceled it.

There’s already bills from the EPA tryign to tax cows at $750 per head for ‘contributing to global climate change’

It has begun folks. For all those hwo voted for Obama hoping he would change big government into Big Mamma who pays all our bills and debts for us, just know that for every dollar he ‘gives’ us, He’ll charge us 10 in return to pay for our enviro ‘sins’ that don’t exist. Yup- We’re goign to get change alright, and it’s goign to cost an arm and a leg

And we won’t be able to defend ourselves because it will ‘contribute to global warming, and because the polar bears supposedly are ‘going extinct’ (Despite evidence that their numbers are rising- NOT declining as the ‘man-caused’ global warming nutjobs state that they are)

He is the most dangerous president ever elected. A total con. Watch for the little mistakes that will reveal his underlying plan. The dems and middle of the road sheople will continue the farse and let him have at it. Unfortunately, those who depend on the con, are the ones who will be hurt the most. Those of us who know what’s coming are prepared to do without and survive.

P.S. Ilovermont! Lived under Mt Mansfield 30 yrs ago in Underhill Ctr. Still get homesick every fall, still love night snowfall walks when I can get them.

I wrote to Senator Inhoffe asking thst if he had all this sound evidence refuting global warming, then why in the heck isn’t htere a MASSIVE campaign to get the TRUTH to the public, and to inform the public so that we can DEMAND that congress not endanger our lives by imposing taxes that we can’t afford to fix a problem that we are not to blame for- I did NOT get a reply.

Senator Inhoffe is hte leading oponent of ‘man-caused’ global wamring, and I think we should ALL flood his office with letters askign him why we are being conned by congress and hte soon to be president and al bore, and ask him why there isn’t a massive effort to get the FACTS about global cyclical climate change to hte public.

The reason congress and obama will get away with this CON is because we the people aren’t demanding that they stop their nonsense and wasting our tax dollars trying to fix somethign we have no control over.

The UN climate change panel just came out and ADMITTED that it’s a ciclical event for crying out loud, but the mainstream media will simply NOT cover that, and we the people DESERVE to be told the truth- not bilked of every last dollar we have!

Below you can find the contact form that will get to Senator Inhofe- it only takes a minute to fill out, and perhaps if enough people contact him, He’ll get hte message that we’re serious about NOT getting taken for a ride!

http://epw.senate.gov/public/index.cfm?FuseAction=ContactUs.ContactForm

Excerpt: “Never underestimate the ability of Congress to offer nonsolutions to problems that do not exist,” said Marc Morano, communications director for the Republicans on the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee. “We could spend weeks arguing the mounting scientific evidence refuting man-made warming fears,” he added, “but it’s the economic arguments that have the most immediate impact.”
