Stepping up his war on global warming and bolstering the Environmental Protection Agency's plan to put new restrictions on coal-fired energy plants, President Obama Wednesday issued a new report warning that the phenomenon can cause allergies, asthma and foster terrorism.
The report lists at least 34 effects of climate change, a doomsday scenario of health, security, economic and political issues.
"Climate change is contributing to extreme weather, wildfires, and drought, and that rising temperatures can lead to more smog and more allergens in the air we breathe, meaning more kids are exposed to the triggers that can cause asthma attacks," said the White House.
The report was issued in advance of the president's trip Wednesday to New London, Conn., to deliver the commencement address at the United States Coast Guard Academy. It stresses the need to reduce global warming to help reduce national security risks.
It also comes in advance of the EPA's new push to cut carbon in the air. The White House said, "We also need to decrease the harmful carbon pollution that causes climate change. That is why, this summer, the EPA will put in place commonsense standards to reduce carbon pollution from power plants, the largest source in the United States."

Is there nothing that cannot be blamed on globull warming? No, and it can't be disproved, since it causes everything.
- If it's drier, it's because of global warming.
- If it's wetter, it's because of global warming.
- If it's warmer, it's because of global warming.
- If it's cooler, it's because of global warming.
Repeat ad nauseam with any other weather related phenomenon or circumstance.

This is currently being used as a distraction to keep people from noticing the complete disaster the Obama administration has made of the Middle East. They know that anyone with any common sense will loudly call BS on this, but that is what they want. Look at this hand while the other hand sweeps the really serious stuff under the rug.

Obama has OBVIOUSLY forgotten the three largest effects of Global Warming, excuse me, Climate Change:
1. Liberal Enhanced Volume Hypocrisy Disorder
2. Waxy Yellow Buildup
and. . .
3. The “heartbreak” of psoriasis. . .

Not to mention dandruff, excessive ear wax, hang nails and increased toenail fungus. However global warming will reduce snowshoe accidents.

“Climate change” - Humanists’ answer to “original sin”.Can't argue with that.

And I guess White house sanctioned riots and cop killings as well.
