President Obama says potentially historic flood levels in North Dakota are a clear example of why steps need to be taken to stop global warming. Heavy rain and blizzards have caused eight rivers in the state to swell to flood levels and emergency management officials are warily watching the Red River, which could surpass record levels late this week.
"If you look at the flooding that's going on right now in North Dakota and you say to yourself, 'If you see an increase of two degrees, what does that do, in terms of the situation there?'" Obama told reporters at the White House Monday. "That indicates the degree to which we have to take this seriously."

All that Global Warming has formed the ice that has jammed the rivers!
Would someone please inform that idiot, also known as the President of the United States that the reason for the flood is that the Red River Flows North into Canada. When water is very cold it turns to ice. Ice is blocking the river you blithering idiot. It is not Global Warming blocking that river. It is ice, ice is cold, global warming which did not cause it to get cold in Canada.
President Obama, repeat after me, "ice is cold, ice is caused by cold weather, ice is blocking the Red River, cold is what caused the flooding on the Red River. If it were warm there would not have been a flood on the Red River."
If I am not mistaken, wasn’t ICE the major problem here? Didn’t Ice flows stop up the river so they had to blow them up with dynamite?
Obamachev makes algore look bright.
..that's how ultra liberals get things done their way
In the Mind Of Obama.....
You see if the planets temperature were to rise 2 degrees, this is the kind of things we can expect and if the planets temp was to fall 2 degrees there would be an inverse effect that also could be bad and that I would blame on mankind. I think that everyone agrees at least most scientists agree and have a concesus that Humans are at fault here since we suck the life out of everything on the planet in our attempts at self destruction. So let me be the first President to speak directly about this issue and how we must stop destroying the earth before its too late.....
Obnoxious. Those people are suffering, and all that A-hole can see is an opportunity for himself. When will this fraud be thrown out of office?
I had to shovel some gobal warming off my driveway just last week
Hear, hear.
Zero is trumping his little communist buddy’s “let no crisis go to waste” with “let no disaster go to waste”...
I get it now....Noah was the first to experience global warming. OK, I’m on the team now and it feels so good.
Obama is not a moron. Obama is not a fool. Obama is not an idiot. He is not dim.
He knows darn well what he is doing, and he has been successful at it. He will continue being successful until the MSM is destroyed.
Stop treating Obama like an idiot and start treating him like the deadly tyrant he is. It’s 1938, and we’ve just read Mein Kampf. What are we gonna do?
Instead of caring about the people, this turd uses the misery to advance his phoney taxes on the people.
He is the worst of the worst.
The arrogance of this jerk knows no limits.
Nope. He is a sinister serpent with a substantial group of sinister backers, and a huge group of moron (or to put it more diplomatically: "ignorant") backers.
We had record cold and snow here in ND - that indicates global warming??
Obama is banking on people who can think rationally anymore.
“If you see an increase of two degrees, what does that do, in terms of the situation there?”
It was 17F this morning and the snow was flying. In terms of the situation there, I would think a 60 degree increase would be welcome.
Tip #1 for the Prez: Global Warming, AKA, Climate Change, is advertised as a bringer of droughts. Droughts are good for flood prevention. Get your story straight.
Tip #2 for the Prez: Floods are measured in terms of feet, not degrees.
“Obama is banking on people who can think rationally anymore.”
ooops .... CAN’T think ...
