Haley says climate change ‘is real,’ administration will accept scientists’ report
The State (Columbia SC) ^ | August 08, 2017 10:41 AM | Bristow Marchant

U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley said Tuesday that she sees no reason the Trump administration wouldn’t accept the results of a new federal report on the effects of climate change.

“I haven’t seen the report, but I don’t see any reason why they wouldn’t,” the former S.C. governor told the “Today Show” Tuesday morning.

While President Donald Trump withdrew the United States from the Paris climate accord earlier this year, Haley said the country remains committed to combating the warming climate.

“Just because we pulled out of the Paris accord doesn’t mean we don’t believe in climate protection,” Haley said. “We’re very aware that we need to do that. (But) we’re not going to sell out American businesses to do that.”

Scientists who worked on a federal climate assessment are not so sure. One told The New York Times that he is worried the administration, which has been publicly skeptical about the changing climate, would suppress the results. …

MOST male politicians are idiots, but NEARLY ALL female politicians SUCK (and not in the good way).

Here's my list of outstanding female politicians:

Why do we immediately attack Haley?

Because of the naybobs who think they have the perfect answer to everything that befalls this country............

Here's their group photo:

Harriet: "Who we going after today?"

Larry: "I'm not sure"

Harriet: "Then why are we going after him?"

Larry: "Didn't you read that article in the New York Times? Didn't you see what CNN said about him?"

Harriet: "Oh, OK......Could you please relight my torch?"

No administration official should ever be heard using the words “climate change” except in the phrase “climate change hoax.”

We look like idiots denying climate change. Climate change is real, ongoing, and has been occurring on this planet for the past 4.5 billion years.

The focus should have always been why every "solution" to climate change that liberals propose requires the transfer of hundreds of billions of dollars of wealth each year from America to the Third World? Why does every "solution" require the United States to handicap our industry but not India or China?

As always, conservatives have totally failed on messaging, allowing the liberals to get the upper hand.

Stop denying climate change and start questioning the so-called "solutions" that are nothing more than massive wealth distribution schemes and have nothing to do with climate!

Who is denying the climate changes?

The lie is that human activity has any effect. Never mind the only “solution” to this lie being to raise taxes and impose both Luddism and Malthusianism.

And the foreign-owned press tries so hard to drown out the real message—but if they were really successful, then Hillary would be president. Therefore, the conservatives do not fail on messaging at all.

It’s bad enough she said “climate protection”. That is a left-wing buzz phrase and nothing else.

The headline doesn’t seem to match the quotes.

It's all part of the LIBERAL MINDSET.

Headline doesn't match info in article.

Trump must be impeached because there is no proof he has done anything illegal or unconstitutional.

Even though Hillary and Bill lied, cheated, stole massive amounts of money, left poor children to die in the dirt with nothing to eat, had their friends shot, had their enemies set on fire and shot, committed treason against the US, not just once, but dozens of times, promoted war instead of peace and enabled the killing of millions.... they didn't have INTENT so Hillary should really be President.

The LIBERAL MINDSET works the opposite of a LOGICAL MINDSET.

In logic If A is true and B is true, then C is true (for example).

In the LIBERAL MINDSET, C is true. A and B really aren't important.

hasn’t seen the report, much less read it or understood it!
anthropological global warming is for the gullible.

“I haven’t seen the report, but I don’t see any reason why they wouldn’t”

....What the hell is “climate protection”?

Warm or cool clothes, a roof or a raincoat or umbrella, or a fan, heat, or maybe air conditioning.

The lie is that human activity has any effect.

Maybe it does, maybe it doesn't. Who cares? This should never have even been a factor in the dialogue. Hell, even if we do cause climate change, so what? We're not going to live in caves. Deal with it world. End of discussion.

Are you aware that most people had absolutely no idea that one of the key elements of the Paris Accords was that the "developed countries" (i.e. the United States) would transfer $100 billion each year to poor nations to "ameliorate the effects of climate change"?

No idea! Just like they had no idea that India and China pretty much had to comply with absolutely nothing. Most people had no idea because the media left these ugly details in the fine print.

This is the stuff we need to be pounding the tables about. Because I can guarantee if we proposed climate change "solutions" that weren't wealth handouts to Third World despots or that made every other industrial country comply to the same standards imposed upon the United States, there'd be a lot less world interest in "fixing" things.

If the entire human population went on battery driven cars, we would have a huge demand for electric generation. It would be nice if the batteries could be charged during the day when the solar cells could be used to recharge the car batteries. That would make employee parking lots quite expensive if each car had equipped daytime recharging stations. If battery charging was done at night when people had their cars at home, the power system would have to come up with the demand using conventional methods. Has any of these fools come up with the numbers to make that work?

Haley demonstrated what a putz she was over the Confederate flag.
When Trump took over, he extanded an olive branch yo the establishment. She was one of them. It was a bad mistake.

It’s not “climate change” anymore.

It is “extreme weather”. The memo should be out soon.

Once you acknowledge the false premise as true, you’ve forfeited the argument and the high ground.

Again, if a majority had swallowed that big lie, Hillary would be president.

“Scientists who worked on a federal climate assessment are not so sure. One told The New York Times that he is worried the administration, which has been publicly skeptical about the changing climate, would suppress the results. …”

Based upon the extreme left wing partsanship of these Al Gore disciples (a cult religion), and their known propensity to cook the data, I think Ms. Haley should be more guarded in her acceptance of this report, particularly if it was overseen by Obummerites.

Those doing the suppressing would be the New York Slimes, who were busted switching documents to “fix” another of their fake news stories.

You are right.

A warming planet by 1 over 50 years would actually feed
more people.

Libtards don’t care about that. They are agenda driven and it doesn’t matter what that agenda is.

They must be in Control. They are the gifted.

(Of course I could remove their energy at any moment given they don’t have a damn clue what I do)

Yes it does. If you want, I can give you several examples. Mostly our effect is localized.

The contradiction in the whole Global Warming Theory is this; whether we minimize or maximize man-made 'alteration' of the heat or humidity, and spend every penny on the planet Earth in that effort, we cannot stop CLIMATE CHANGE.

Funny that you didn’t name the effect. Also, a localized “effect” is not a climactic one.
