PARIS - President Obama joined leaders from 150 nations on Monday in pledging action against climate change, kicking off a historic two-week gathering that Obama called a "turning point" in the battle against one of humanityâs gravest threats.
...."The growing threat of climate change could define the contours of this century more dramatically than any other," Obama said in a speech at the Le Bourget conference center in Parisâs industrial outskirts. "What should give us hope that this is a turning point, that this is the moment we finally determined we would save our planet."
Obama, who has staked his legacy on the fight against climate change, struck an ominous tone in describing the ravages of a warming planet, declaring that "no nation large or small, wealthy or poor, is immune." He urged the leaders to take action even if the benefits were not evident for generations...."
He did look like Sambo!
Big grin. After giving an epic rant and blowing off the STFU buzzer in front of the entire world... Lol!
Valerie Jarrett understands that extortion properly applied is a powerful motivator
Indeed. Makes me think...when you so set yourself against the laws of Nature (and Nature's God) as do the Leftists, then yes, you have made Nature your enemy.
Gore lost to Bush over his idiocy and his anti gun stance.
We will have to pass Carbon Controls to see what's in them and then our political class will have something inconsequential to debate and demagogue.
The political pond is in need of turning!
Global Warming PING!
Your taxpayer dollars at work.
I would love to see a calculation of the total carbon footprint for this hot air conference. The hypocrisy alone is enough to heat the planet.
The world is a tinder box awaiting to ignite WW3 and Obama thinks a warm day is the greatest danger to humanity. What a clueless twit.
He has an agenda.
No nation is immune to bulls*t, either.
The “leaders” at the Paris conference have decided to just steamroll this through - they don’t give a rat’s carbon footprint what it does to the “global” economy - other than it will give goverment more power.
Obama is speaking now. He’s in full ‘s’ whistle mode.
Blah blah ... I am saving the planet...blah blah...my great green economy..blah.. moral imperative..Bill Gates..the future is ours to shape...blah blah
Global warming, the magician’s pretty assistant to keep you distracted.
There, fixed it.
Pollution, and lots of different issues will require thoughtful responses over time.
One issue that has very significant and detrimental consequences, and relates to global warming, is the decline in scientific integrity, and the politicization of science. We are publishing more research papers now than ever before in history, but whether or not the findings are correct, and can be replicated, has become a toss-up. IMHO, this is not a minor issue, and clearly the politicization of climate science, and the suppression of opposing data, has had huge global geopolitical and economic consequences. The same things happen in biomedical science, physical sciences, and seemingly across the spectrum.
More than likely it’s all part of the propaganda.
Economies around the world are on the edge of collapse so pretend the economies are so good they can slow them down with regulations without a risk to the economies.
Lesson for tomorrow:
There have been 5 major periods of glaciation in Erf’s history.
Please explain how SUV’s and power plants caused the ice to melt each time.
I wish he would stop sending my money to third world nations without any strings attached or any accountability plans.
