Appearing on November 29th Fox News Sunday, 2016 Republican presidential candidate Carly Fiorina slammed President Barack Obama and his allies as “delusional” for continually pushing the notion that climate change is a chief national security threat for the United States and the world at-large.
Fiorina was asked about the issue by host Chris Wallace in context of this upcoming week’s United Nations climate change summit in Paris and the argument that addressing climate change makes the world safer and rebukes Islamic terrorists.
Carly Fiorina Slams 'Delusional' Obama, Left for Pushing Climate Change as National Security Threat
The GOP candidate immediately pounced on the President, twice declaring that it is “delusional” for the left and specifically the President and Hillary Clinton for arguing “that climate change is our near-term most severe security threat” when, in reality, “[i]t is ISIS, period, followed closely by Iran and perhaps Russia.”
Fiorina further explained that “President Obama continues to think that somehow our behavior causes terrorism, so he says the climate change summit is a powerful rebuke” when “it's not” because:
The terrorists don't care that we're gathering in Paris other than it provides a target, just as he said ‘well, Republicans are giving terrorists a recruiting tool and we don't think refugees should be allowed in the country if we cannot properly vet them.’ President Obama is delusional about the threat, which is apparently he won't do anything about it.
Wallace then challenged her on whether or not the climate talks themselves are still worthwhile and Fiorina shot back:
If you read the fine print of the science, what the scientists tell us, all those scientist who sea rates and manmade, they say a single nation acting alone will make no difference at all, that it will take a concerted global effort over 30 years, costing trillions of dollars. I think the likelihood is near zero, so no, I do not think it’s particularly productive.
Instead of harping on global warming, Fiorina offered some suggestions of her own for the global community to focus on that would have a more lasting impact:
I think it would be far more productive if President Obama indeed was there leading an international coalition to stop human trafficking or for humanitarian relief for the refugees or and international coalition to defeat ISIS. All those would be more useful than time in Paris spent talking about climate change.
Making Kasich look like a TOTAL IDIOT. Good for her, but too little, and FAR TOO LATE.
...and that face, OMG, that face.
Who is Fiorina?
Classic diversion technique: Expend lots of time and $$ on a side issue that is not important in order to divert attention from real more important issues (immigration, crap economy, Obamacare, etc. )where you are vulnerable. Why does the media let him get away with this?
While our politicians and leaders work tirelessly to solve what might be the problems of the 22nd century, real 21st century problems continue to boil out of control.

Gluten free spaghetti?
Try asking any of the people who are having their heads hacked off if they give a rip about climate change........
Exactly
Someone I am not voting for.
“Sea rates”? At the risk of being picky, do people who write articles proofread at all?
Hey Kasich isn’t mentioned in the articlle. He is irrelevant
When you lack any leadership ability, have no clue how to deal with the muslims, have already alienated must of Americas allies you turn to “climate change” for a distraction.
Chris Wallace, as usual, repeatedly used key left wing phraseology to try and control the direction of his fundamentally flawed narrative.
Regardless of Fiorina’s more debatable positions and chances as a presidential candidate, when Wallace used the term “alleged” in describing the Planned Parenthood sale of unborn human body parts, Carly Fiorina correctly and succinctly dismantled his narrative by restating *it was actually Planned Parenthood which was caught disclosing the sale of baby body parts, removing the false flag narrative of some right wing contrived story (which Wallace was inferring).
She accurately used the term “delusional” in describing Obama’s climate agenda as well.
Wallace’s facial expression was priceless. He was just steamrolled by an intelligent female with the truth.
He simply could not argue with her.
Also, I could not help but notice that Wallace gave Carly ample opportunity to trash Trump. (This I assume is because the boss (Ailes) wants all of his troopers to help the GOPe unload on Trump.
All except Dobbs is in on this. I hope Dobbs is able to keep his show.
It doesn’t make any sense to me, either-maybe the people who are supposed to proofread do not speak English as their 1st language...
She is right about this. You are right about the face that sank a thousand ships.
You mean a Republican candidate is slamming someone besides Trump?
