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.

Notice it's the middle class that something must be done about. Hisself roaming the world in TWO 747's for him and his entourage is just fine.
Perhaps he could set an example by curtailing his family vacations.
You bet, brother.

Hey Barky.....YOU ARE THE GLOBAL THREAT!!! YOU AND YOUR FELLOW DEMOCRAT MARXISTS!!
In western NY my furnace is still coming on at night and I still wear jackets more times than not in the morning and evening.
I’ll bet the Germans are all laughing tonight in private at the irrelevance and falseness of Obama’s already disproven, warmed over, out of date claims. Obama is really desperate for wshat to talk about given that his fascist methods and lies are coming home to roost.
