Germany might be looking to scale way back on their own overly optimistic long-term and government subsidized renewable-energy plans as electricity prices are skyrocketing around the country, but that didn’t stop President Obama from advocating more of the same during his speech in Berlin today, accompanied by all of the usual grandiose platitudes. Via The Hill:
“Peace with justice means refusing to condemn our children to a harsher, less hospitable planet,” he said in a speech at Berlin’s Brandenberg Gate. “The effort to slow climate change requires bold action.”
Obama touted his first-term work on green energy and boosting auto efficiency rules, but added: “We know we have to do more – and we will do more.” …
“With a global middle class consuming more energy every day, this must now be an effort of all nations, not just some. For the grim alternative affects all nations – more severe storms, more famine and floods, new waves of refugees, coastlines that vanish, oceans that rise. This is the future we must avert,” Obama said.
“This is the global threat of our time. And for the sake of future generations, our generation must move toward a global compact to confront a changing climate before it is too late. That is our job. That is our task. We have to get to work,” he said, according to a White House transcript.
And the White House is planning to do more, especially via executive and regulatory fiat. I mentioned last week that the Obama administration has been hinting to ardent climate-change activists and Democratic base supporters that they have big plans they’re going to reveal next month, and a White House spokesperson gave a few more not-unexpected indications about the type of rules and regs they have in the pipeline, reports National Journal:

What a creep.
Wo is das freibier?!
In his honor I think I will burn a tire today or maybe turn my thermostat down to 75 (soon they will control those too).
It’s no wonder Obama has Brown Eyes when you realize what his head is full of, probably has stinky breath too.
The “global threat of our time” is the lies that misanthropic environmental-entrepreneurs tell.
Sorry Barry. YOU and your ‘RAT comrades are the “global threat” of our time.
but wait....michelle says it’s obesity
So lets see you stop China from building a coal plant per week.
LOOK! SQUIRREL!
Climate change? Is that the same one where they just figured out the Earth has actually been cooling over the past 15 years instead of warming?
Almost right. Actually Islam is the global threat of our time. But thanks for playing.
Yep. Iranian Mullahs could raise the global temperature 2000 degrees in a few seconds.
This is actually a good thing. JFK’s speech was historic. Reagan’s speech was historic. The libs are doing their best to make Obama a “historic”, visionary President. So, 30 years from now, when a President goes to Berlin, and they’re playing excepts of past speeches, they can play this part, and show what a buffoon Obama is for buying into the “sky is falling” claptrap that is Global Warming. He’s now on record.
How is it possible that I hate this man more everyday?!?

Flies love him.
The US government has become nothing but a mobster racket.
If you’re speaking of nukes, it’s a whole lot more than that.
Wait a minute. I thought this was fixed.

I ask myself the same question. I sometimes wonder if I should ask God for forgiveness but haven’t brought myself around to do so yet.
He is a vile demon. Pure evil.
