Obama: Carbon ‘Eating Our Planet,’ ‘A Threat to Our Children’s Future’

CNSNews.com) – President Barack Obama warned his supporters about the threat of global warming and vowed that more money to subsidize green energy firms would prevent it.

“By the way, yes, my plan will reduce the carbon pollution that is eating our planet because climate change is not a hoax,” Obama said at a campaign rally at the Bank United Arena at the University of Miami. “More droughts and hurricanes and wildfires, that’s not a joke. That’s a threat to our children’s future, and we can do something about it.”

Obama said that he planned to spend more money to subsidize green projects such as wind and solar if elected to a second term. Obama’s Republican opponent Mitt Romney has criticized him for spending $90 billion on green energy companies, many of which went into bankruptcy.

This week, the House Energy and Commerce Committee announced it is seeking information from the Department of Energy about a $400 million loan to Abound Solar, which recently filed for bankruptcy. Abound was the fifth stimulus-funded green energy firm and the third to file for bankruptcy after Solyndra and Beacon Power.

Obama vowed to pay for the subsidies by taking away tax breaks to oil companies.

“So, now you’ve got a choice. My plan would cut our oil imports in half and invest in the clean energy that has created thousands of jobs all across America,” the president said at the Florida rally.

“Not just oil and natural gas, but wind and solar and clean coal technologies and fuel efficient cars and long lasting batteries. If you want to know how we’re paying for it, one of the things we do not allow oil companies to collect another $4 billion in taxpayer-funded corporate welfare every single year,” Obama added.

Obama said the United States should not fall behind the rest of the world in the green energy markets.

“I will not let China or anybody else win the race for clean energy technology,” Obama said. “I want to see that technology develop right here in Florida, right here in the United States of America, creating jobs right here.

“By the way, yes, my plan will reduce the carbon pollution that is eating our planet because climate change is not a hoax. More droughts and hurricanes and wildfires, that’s not a joke. That’s a threat to our children’s future, and we can do something about it.”

0bamummer is concerned about carbon eating our planet while the Chinese, who have no such idiotic qualms, are eating our lunch.

Dope.

Another lie to justify crippling the American economy and shutting down industry.

These are Obama’s most important objectives.

I honestly don’t think it’s possible for this POS to be more out of touch. While the burning issues swirl around him, he fixates on Big Bird and illusionary chimera. He has been reduced to playing to a gallery that is diminishing daily.

Obama just wants to ship our jobs to the Chinese, and this is cover for it.

Methane is a more potent greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide, so sequestering Moochelle’s butt is a national imperative.

It feeds the tax coffers of Illinois and California the most, as they tax the most in the country in cents per PRICE, rather than per volume.

Before the 2008 election Obama and company set up the “Chicago Carbon Exchange”. It was to buy and sell carbon credits to companies and redistribute wealth (through the U.N.). First the Climate hoax had to work. It didn’t. I thought he had buried this monster but I think he has resurrected it to “scare” us into voting for him. It’s all he’s got and it’s still a scam.

Obama doesn’t buy into any of it. He knows it’s all a lie and a scam, but his adoring masses eat it up, while he cuts lucrative favors for his buds in the “green energy” business. Money laundering in the light of day and right under our noses. He mocks us, as Kahn would say.

“That’s a threat to our children’s future.”
The real and continuing threat to the children in America is Obama and the Democrat’s WAR ON BABIES. He wants people to worry about his fears as babies are being slaughtered.

For all we know the earth is the Titanic, climate warming is the iceberg and zero is Captain Smith.

He yells hard right rudder dooming all of us OR orders stay the course and we are damaged but live. Which it is it? No one alive knows or ever will. It will take a few thousand years to write the story.
