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:

The “global threat of our time” is actually OBAMA.
Only if the climate is Islamic.
You betcha. None of us are without sin.
I am suddenly reminded of Bugs Bunny saying of one of his perpetual adversaries (I forget whether it was Elmer Fudd or Daffy Duck), “What a maroon! [sic]”
I hope you’ve been posting via a Tor router ever since you signed up for your user name here. Otherwise let us know how your encounter with the Secret Service goes when someone misinterprets observation of a moral judgement in favor of assassination as a threat, rather than the statement of a (another’s) moral judgement.
Obama is the Manchurian Candidate and knows absolutely nothing about anything of the Presidency. No one can be in touch with the real world and make a statement like that. Absolutely stunning.
Well, I hope they rot in hell.
I’ll give you the last word if you would like.
The Global Threat of our time is YOU, you double-g*d-damned islamist filthbag.
Just as Adolf was, and Mohammed before him.
You’re obviously racist. :o)
Damn it! That’s what I get for being a White male...genetic hatred of others.
So do I.
I’m glad someone agrees with me.
Good grief you are in Texas, how are you able to live in that house? Ours stays at 70 sometimes at 69.
Come and get me enviros and I'll sic the dogs on you!
Years of outside work have dulled me I guess.
I’m sorry President Dickweed!...But YOU are the global threat of our time!
I guess everybody needs something to love them.
Obama is much like a fly, he craps on everything he touch’s.
Correction....only second,
only second to you
I think you are fibbing here my friend, no priest which was trained in the Catholic church would utter such stupidity.
He was from Poland. He had suffered under the Nazis and Communists. I was paraphrasing him.
At the time O’bama’s limo was probably idling at the curb empty, waiting for his return.
