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 won’t 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 children’s 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.
He’s right on this one.. climate change is fact and happens every day and would happen if humans inhabited the planet or not... it’s been changing for 4+ billion years.
Nupe, "climate change" is contrary to the scientific method, as it is essentially an untested hypothesis.
BTW, climate change is based on modeling, and models can be easily persuaded to produce a desired result (it's all in the assumptions and defaults.)
I have never heard of scientific debates that have been "settled", and that's as it should be.

It’s called the SEASONS!
they “pivoted”
Barack Hussein Obama is a serial liar.
That is a fact.

Well, yes, climate change is a fact. It’s been happening for millenia.
But anthropomorphic climate change?
No.
And can we do anything about it?
No.
0bummer is a snake.
I think they stole it from the abortion crowd who loved saying Roe v Wade was “settled law” back during the Alito and Roberts confirmations. Of course law is never any more “settled” than science.
global warming is the biggest lie ever told. this is the coldest year ever :Snow in new Orleans , snow in Pensacola,snow in Atlanta, snow in Egypt this year. factories have been emitting C02 for the past 200 years. This CO2 is what democrats say is trapping heat in the atmosphere causing global warming. if that were true then sea levels would have risen 60 feet in those 200 years. They haven’t .there is MORE ice than ever in Antarctica( google it) not less. It’s hasn’t warmed. there is no sea level rise, ice caps have not melted.global warming is a big lie democrats push to grow government and control us (socialism).
democrats are pure evil. democrats are socialists, all of them
I will always continue to fight for freedom and for smaller, almost nonexistent just constitutional government: I am a Republican
It’s getting more difficult to “take this”....thinking of going Galt for good
I’m afraid to look at the bills this year.
Yeap.
Winter, spring, summer, autumn.
Been happening since the globe started turning.
In a few months we will be complaining about the heat. That is what we used to call summer. A few months after that, we will be complaining about the cold and ice and snow. That is what we used to call winter. In between, we will have a few or many nice days — after summer, they were called autumn; after winter, they were called spring.
Then, the cycle begins again. We call it the new year.
<sniffle-whimper> Oh, can I get back on your Good List, Baas Obama? Cracka Boy no act bad no mo' .... I'll be your Good Boy, Baas.
</handlicking libRat>
Do I need a tag?
You are badly wrong
Copernicus declared the planets revolve around the sun
Sorry, my bad, lol.
Thought I was taking a Bad Cracka beatdown.
He must have changed his mind!
One of my favorite quotes from Issac Asimov: It is change, continuing change, inevitable change, that is the dominant factor in society today. No sensible decision can be made any longer without taking into account not only the world as it is, but the world as it will be.
Obama is right. Climates change. Just ask the dinosaurs. So? It was a lot warmer here yesterday than today. It was foggier here forty years ago. Sometimes it rains.
It’s like saying nighttime is a fact. But we don’t go on to say “someday our children will live only in the light if we just change our behavior to benefit the government.”
