Hillary Clinton: Climate changing 'no matter what deniers may say'
The Hill ^ | December 2, 2014 | Peter Sullivan

Posted on 12/02/2014 1:04:28 PM PST by Zakeet

Hillary Clinton argued for forceful action to fight climate change in an environmental speech on Monday night, but did not mention the controversial Keystone pipeline.

“The science of climate change is unforgiving, no matter what the deniers may say, sea levels are rising, ice caps are melting, storms, droughts and wildfires are wreaking havoc,” Clinton said, according to ABC News.

“The political challenges are also unforgiving, there is no getting around the fact the kind of ambitious response required to effectively combat climate change is going to be a tough sell at home and around the world at a time when so many countries including our own are grappling with slow growth and stretched budgets.”

You forgot “Fugly”

She won’t be elected President. She just looks too gross. And before you flame me, yes, that matters. A lot.

The climate is changing - well, of course it is. 10kYa there were two miles of ice where there’s now 2 inches of snow. That’s a big change.

So what?

She has to beat Warren (or whoever the Chicago Mob rolls out) before taking on a Republican.

I’m sure her consultants are saying, if you want to win the primary/caucus contests in ‘16 you have to go hard left.

Middle of the road doesn’t work with the Dem activist crowd that votes in the primaries.

Claim That Sea Level Is Rising Is a Total Fraud

Sea levels began to rise 18k years ago at the end of the last glacial period. They have risen about 135 meters since then which is an average of 7.5 millimeters per year. That is an average of 750 mm per century (29.5 inches) which is far more than the average over the last century.

From 1880 to 2000 sea level rose about 20 cm or just under 8 inches. Far far less than the nearly 30 inches per century average over the last 18,000 years.

It’s a religious appeal -

those who cling to “climate change” are seeking their own righteousness through how much they “care about saving the erf”.

That the erf is in danger is not questioned.
That humans are causing it is also a given.

Because, without the above two points,
there is nothing to hang their self-righteousness on.

Here’s how you attack these idiots.

When they start in about deniers, you say, “I don’t deny climate change, it’s been moving between ice ages and tropical periods for eons. What I deny is that there is any evidence government do anything about it.”

When they bluster, demand evidence that our government, or any group of governments can control the temperature of the planet. There is none, of course.

The finish? “I’m not a climate denier, I’m a denier of your fantasy.”

Hillary has not noticed, but global warming barely even registers on the voters' radar. Nobody believes it, nobody cares. Hillary is preaching to the choir and even they are tired of it. Algore already is a laughingstock and not just here on FR. Hillary risks her credibility, such as it is, by harping on this red herring.

Climate Change is just a liberal politician's code word for there are too many people. Need to reduce population, somehow, anyhow...even with fake Ebola scares... and worse.

Oh, it HAS to be, ole Hillary, because the clintons are INVESTED in the carbon credits market that Golden Slacks created and then closed. WHO holds the most amount of carbon in the world? Big Oil. Just sayin’.

So, what IF we are headed for a mini-ice age (which was predicted in the 70’s btw with great fanfare)? That would mean the holders of energy would gouge the living daylights out of regular people. This is why algore sold to Qatar’s Al-Jazeera. This is why Jimmah CAAAAhtah is a stooge for the Saudis. The democrat’s “concern” about global warming is entirely self-serving... and completely utterly- wrong!

Another Democrat Straw Man set up and knocked down.

I don’t know that anyone denies the climate may be changing.

The real disagreement is the cause.

The Snow Bear looks all nice and wonderful! Work on the North Slope where they want to eat you and get back to me if your not bear crap. Had to have a marksman in the rifle towers so you could go from unit to unit so the bears would not get you. B.P. said don’t go from building to building without men in the towers. I never meet Bill or Hill on the slope.

Yes, she’s right — the climate is changing. Moment by moment. It’s been in a constant state of change since the Earth was formed and will continue to change until the Earth is no more.

This is normal. There is little or nothing we could do about it if we wanted to. So why the panic and the constant cry for action to prevent what is inevitable and natural?

Liberal elites vote on things like global warming. It’s weird, but if it works I’d like them to vote out gravity for limited areas so we can fly....

she’s apparently so ignorant that she doesn’t even know that we believe the climate is changing- it always has changed, always will change- what we don’t believe is that MAN is to blame- man can’t be to blame, it’s IMPOSSIBLE for man to be responsible because man’s contribution is a whopping 3.4% of 0.04% of the CO2 that makes up out atmosphere- CO2 in our atmosphere is only 0.04% folks- there is no way this side of hell that 0.04% of our atmosphere is causing global warming- NONE- the globe MUST be changing for OTHER reasons- period! I would like a GOP candidate to ask Hillary to explain to the world how just 0.04% of our atmosphere can cause global warming? the only denier here is Hillary and her ilk- they deny that climate change is a natural process- and want to scam everyone by convincing hte4m it is man made- but the FACTS CLEARLY SHOW that man is only responsible for just 3.4% of the TOTAL AMOSPHERIC CO2 level which is only an insignificant 0.04%

The only anti-science people around are those like hillary and ilk who continue to peddle the lie that man is to blame for natural cyclical warming and cooling trends

[[What the mainstream media wont tell you about global warming ]]

What they refuse to tell you is that the total atmospheric CO2 level is only 0.04%, and what they further refuse to tell us is how just 0.04% could possibly be causing climate change on a global scale - 0.04% of our atmosphere isn’t large enough to do anything- period- it is like someone pissing in the ocean and claiming it has just caused global flooding- or someone sneezing in china and claiming that person has caused hurricanes in the US

The scale of CO2 in our atmosphere compared to the TOTAL atmosphere is so small that it isn’t even worth mentioning as it can not possibly be causing the climate to change at all- period- end of story

They know that they will look like idiots trying to explain how just 0.04% of our atmosphere can be causing climate change, and so they NEVER mention it- ever!

Note to Hillary and the man-made global warming crowd - the climate is and always has been changing, from the beginning to now, no matter what and in spite of what humans do.
