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.

BO is full of Bull.

We have know for 75 years that weather patterns are more variable during Sunspot minimums and Maximums.

As is radio wave propogation.

This is all a fraud and power grab.

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.

Perhaps the world has simply warmed from the glow of his cosmic aura. His magic breath is melting the icecaps.

Don’t give him any ideas. There are people who voted for him who are dumb enough to believe it.

Frightening!

"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."

Great, the U.S. government can chase its tail fighting shadows and the Islamofascists can take over from the inside or bomb us from the outside.
