anuary 28, 2014, 09:42 pm 'Climate change is a fact,' Obama declares
By Laura Barron-Lopez
President Obama said the debate over climate change is settled during his State of the Union speech on Tuesday evening.
"The shift to a cleaner energy economy wont happen overnight, and it will require tough choices along the way," Obama said.
"But the debate is settled. Climate change is a fact."
"And when our childrens children look us in the eye and ask if we did all we could to leave them a safer, more stable world, with new sources of energy, I want us to be able to say yes, we did," Obama added emphatically.
The comments were met with a standing ovation from the majority of Democrats. But Democratic Senator Joe Manchin (W.Va.), who represents a coal-producing state, didn't join in, and Rep. Michelle Bachmann (R-Minn.) was spotted shaking her head.
The president has made tackling climate change a priority of his second term. The centerpiece of the effort is new regulations from the Environmental Protection Agency that will limit carbon emissions from new and existing power plnats.
I feel like you do and we all notice he changed it from 'global warming' to 'climate change'.
Wish we could just send him out - to investigate the climate.....
“require tough choices along the way”
Translation: pull the united states backwards into the status of a third world country.
... and bear in mind the only “climate change” the Left is concerned with is “warming”.
Our childrens children will be downtrodden serf’s in a socialist police state. Those who look anyone in the eye, and those who ask uncomfortable questions, will be sent to camps.
Best if saddest answer.
This moron is supposed to be a “perfessor” who teaches the U.S. Constitution. The idiot does not know a damn thing about the U.S. Constitution. Nothing. Now he thinks he’s a scientist? The boy is one sick puppy.
The only fact here is that this man is a proven liar.
It's called "weather" and long term "solar cycles".
And man has not a damn thing to do with it.
For a change, I agree with obama. Climate changes.
Now, if he decides to blame it on humans...
OK!! Everybody pay attention!
Lesson for today:
1. The sun is 1,300,000 times as big as the earth.
2. The sun is a ball of fire that controls the climates of all its planets.
3. The earth is one of the suns planets.
4. The earth is a speck in comparison to the size of the sun.
5. Inhabitants of the earth are less than specks.
Study Question: How do less-than-specks in congress plan to control the sun?
"The state of the union is strong"
"'Climate change is a fact"
Uh-yup....
What is NOT a fact is humans having anything at all to do with it. We don't have the power to CHANGE the climate, we only have the ability, or not, to ADAPT to the changes that are going to occur naturally.
They stopped calling it that when it became clear that the earth wasn't 'warming' anymore. They thought they'd sound more credible by calling it 'Climate Change'. They still have the same problem; they can't prove that humans have anything to do with the changes.
