Full title: Obama in Malaysia: "You'll See Oceans Rise--More Drought, More Flooding, Bigger Hurricanes, Typhoons"

(CNSNews.com) - Speaking today at a townhall meeting in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, President Barack Obama warned that if the world does not "stop the amount of carbon that we send up" there will be everything from rising oceans to more droughts and more floods and bigger hurricanes and typhoons.
Obama was speaking to a group of people associated with the Young Southeast Asia Leaders Initiative (YSEALI), a program sponsored by the U.S. State Department.
"The science is very clear that because of the carbon emissions that we send in, mostly from the use of fossil fuels--oil, gas, coal--the temperatures worldwide, on average, are getting higher," said Obama. "And that begins to change weather patterns. The oceans begin to get warmer. The ice in the Arctic begins to melt. And you get a feedback loop that as things get warmer that creates even more of a trend towards warming.
"And if we don't stop the amount of carbon that we send up, and we don't find new ways of creating energy, then you'll see the oceans rise, more extreme weather events, more drought, more flooding, bigger hurricanes, typhoons," said Obama. "And it could have a devastating effect on countries all around the world. And probably the biggest effect will be on poorer countries who don't have as much infrastructure to protect themselves."
Obama said it was a mistake for people to think they did not need to worry about climate change now.
"So this has to be one of our highest priorities, but it's a hard issue to deal with because it doesn't happen right away. It happens gradually," he said. "And so people always think, well, that's something we don't have to worry about now. But if we don't get started now, it's going to be too late."
Obama concluded that he hopes to get a global deal at the U.N. summit on climate change that will convene in Paris at the end of this month.
"In Paris, our hope is to get all the countries to agree that they will set targets for reducing carbon emissions," he said. "It won't be the same for every country. More developed countries, they should do more. Less developed, they don't have to do as much because they haven't contributed so much to carbon pollution. But everybody has to do something."
We’ve never gotten a hurricane in the Central to Western Pacific
We get typhoons
What happened to ‘...this was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal...’ mentioned on Jun 3, 2008?
Exactly but Bambam doesn’t know that.
Did anyone tell this fool that we have not had a major hurricane hit the east coast since Gore threatened us with the same - since Katrina.
Does he fashion himself a prophet now?
The hubris of this j@ck@ss is boundless.
STFU, 0bama. No one, save your mentally ill, rabid followers, believes this BS.
P.S. And thanks to YOU, the WORLD IS ON FIRE!
And in August 2011, NASA announced that global sea level was dropping and was "a quarter of an inch lower than last summer."
When DOESN’T this SOB lie?
Ah, Just a little setback.
Perhaps a legitimate response.
The real problem facing the world is Weather !
“Temperatures will rise so much, the Middle East will become uninhabitable”.
[Loud cheers]
Yep, Bambam is shooting his mouth off about globull warming being the number one threat and telling us Islam is the ROP and we should bring thousands of muslims into our country.
Freep you- FUBO!
He is the model for the proverbial “Lying sack of shit!”
obama’s on his “The Erf is Doomed” world tour ... not musical entertainment; more like comedy. He’s a real mess, no doubt about it.
Did Obama leave his body float around and watch the audience ?
