Climate change predictions can be scary, and political opposition to climate action is fierce. But EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy says she can’t help but be optimistic about the future.
McCarthy, speaking at the American Meteorological Society (AMS) annual meeting in Phoenix on Wednesday, struck a decidedly positive tone.
“If there is ever a challenge where the U.S. can shine and provide leadership, it is the challenge of climate change,” she said.
“The real danger and the real economic problem we face is not taking action,” McCarthy said.
She emphasized the importance of the work of the thousands of weather and climate scientists attending the meeting, which will help inform solutions.

The scary part is fear mongers like you Gina!
If it ain’t broke, fix it till it is.
The scary thing is what the tyrants do to remove more money from our wallets by getting numbskulls to believe and support them
Scary thing to do nothing in the face of Obamaism.
But that’s our plan.
Funny thing, though. That is exactly what global temps have been doing the last 15 years. Nothing.
Actually the scary thing is people who think they’re so g-damn smart that to them doing nothing is the scary thing.
Physicist Howard Hayden's one-letter disproof of global warming claims [pre-Climategate]Dear Administrator Jackson:
I write in regard to the Proposed Endangerment and Cause or Contribute Findings for Greenhouse Gases Under Section 202(a) of the Clean Air Act, Proposed Rule, 74 Fed. Reg. 18,886 (Apr. 24, 2009), the so-called "Endangerment Finding."
It has been often said that the "science is settled" on the issue of CO2 and climate. Let me put this claim to rest with a simple one-letter proof that it is false.
The letter is s, the one that changes model into models. If the science were settled, there would be precisely one model, and it would be in agreement with measurements.
Alternatively, one may ask which one of the twenty-some models settled the science so that all the rest could be discarded along with the research funds that have kept those models alive.
We can take this further. Not a single climate model predicted the current cooling phase. If the science were settled, the model (singular) would have predicted it.

Gina your 15 minutes is almost up ,so give up
“The real danger and the real economic problem we face is not taking action,” McCarthy said.
Join the Collective! Be assimilated!
Gina, sometimes the best thing you can do is nothing.
The scary thing is people believing a new, made-up, doomsday cult religion are running the US Government.
Last I heard we’ve actually “lost” that 1 degree temperature rise that occurred before the last 17 years of nothing.
Alarmist alert.
No, the real danger is that the government will use the phony science of climate change to steal more of our money and freedom and even though it will make no difference.
