Obama's Climate Change Speech Ignores Science & EU Experience

The New American
25 June 2013

President Obama was playing to his most extreme “green” constituency in his climate and energy speech at Georgetown University today, blasting global warming skeptics as “flat-earth society” ostriches with their heads in the sand. President Obama said he does not have "patience for anyone who denies that this problem is real."

"We don't have time for a meeting of the flat-Earth society," Obama said. "Sticking your head in the sand might make you feel safer, but it's not going to protect you from the coming storm." Obama claimed that the call for urgent action to stem the threat of global warming is based on the "overwhelming judgment of science, of chemistry, of physics, and millions of measurements."

The president apparently has not gotten the memos; his Oval Office staff must be keeping him in the dark concerning very important recent developments in climate science and even more significant developments in climate and energy policies. As we reported yesterday, some of the leading voices in the global warming alarmist choir have been admitting that the climate catastrophes predicted by the computer models have not materialized and that the alleged “scientific consensus” is a fraud. The influential British journal, The Economist, suggested in an article on June 20, that “the public has been systematically deceived” for years with all this talk of certainty and consensus about dire consequences attributed to man-made, or anthropogenic, global warming (AGW), and the supposed urgent need for drastic, costly, painful public policies to address the “crisis.”

"The planet is warming. Human activity is contributing to it," Obama said in his Georgetown speech.

The president seems to be unaware that even top climate alarmists have admitted that there has been no evidence of global warming for at least the past 15 years. This absence of warming has been the source of much head scratching, debating, and theorizing in the climate activist circles. As we have reported, the UK Met Office and Professor Phil Jones, the former director of the Climate Research Unit (CRU) of the University of East Anglia, are among the many alarmists who have been forced to acknowledge the reality of the lack of any warming trend or crisis. The New American’s recent articles (see below) on the false consensus list dozens of top scientists who have defected from the alarmist ranks, and provide links showing literally thousands of scientists contest the warming theories President Obama champions as the basis for his energy policy proposals.

The president’s energy program, outlined in this White House Fact Sheet and detailed in “The President’s Climate Action Plan,” both released today, would place onerous new restrictions on coal fired power plants and other fossil fuels and would direct billions more dollars into funding “renewable energy” sources, such as solar and wind. As we have reported, these are policies that have already proven to be enormously wasteful here in the United States, and in Germany and other European nations (see here and here) have proven to be disastrous.

Nobody can confuse Obama with an informed leader.

That’s just bad. Correct but bad. Can’t believe the ROTUS would ignore any information. About anything. Never.

What "consensus"?!

All I see is a bunch of biased news organizations that cover only one side of the issue, and ignore any contrary arguments and evidence, so it appears that everyone is in agreement.

That's not science OR journalism - it's something close to religious fanaticism.

The President is one of those people who has learned nothing since his sophomore year in college.

His brain is frozen in 1981.

I’m tired of this MFer thinking he knows more than everybody else. He’s one of the most ignorant people in politics I have ever heard. I can’t wait for this POS to leave office, become irrelevent and off himself.

It’s a good way for Obama to change the subject from scandals and the disaster of Obamacare to something else that will hurt America.

More like frozen in the last state his Soviet handlers left him. Quite a few of our commie leaders right now seem to have that problem. They actually think China and Russia will help them simply because they themselves are commies.
