Obama addresses global warming summit

Nobama always makes it sound so good. Like he's the only one who thinks of these ideas. When I see all these green jobs that pay well, then I'll listen.

Does anyone realize the cost of renewable energy? In some cases, renewable energy makes sense, but in many cases, the costs are much higher. Creating "green" jobs that cost people more money for energy does not necessarily help. The people pushing for this stuff should at least be honest with the public and present the costs of the various forms of renewable energy. These should be the real costs, and not propaganda created to fool people about the true cost. After the costs are presented to the people, let them vote on it. I have a feeling that if the costs were honestly portrayed, people would vote for non-renewable coal, followed by nuclear and possibly wind power.

God help us!

O yes ,
lead us LORD BARRY

Let's give credit where's it's due, to President Bush, for being just about the only leader in the western world to do the right thing and stonewall the efforts of the global warming hysterics. If President Bush had given in to the enormous pressure on him to sign the Kyoto Agreement the world would be a much much worse place. Just another reason he will be highly regarded in years to come.

How much greenhouse gas and global warming will be produced by the four million people who travel to the inauguration of President-elect Barack Obama, a crowd that would be three or four times larger than previous big events on the Mall. Would not a real leader would ask those millions of people to stay at home for the good of the world?

Good Lord....wind and solar ? The only wind and hot air around is coming from the like of Algore and crowd.Why do you think solar and wind have not gone further....more transmission lines (cost huge amounts of $)and no one wants them in their backyard....solar...needs large amounts of chemicals to work and incredible amounts of water..energy independence ? SHALE oil sounds good (look at Canada) Who the hell can afford to by an electric roller skate that will need servicing ? The corner garage will laugh when they break down.

Directive 10-289 - soon - from Obama

"In the name of the general welfare, to protect the people's security, to achieve full equality and total stability, it is decreed for the duration of the national emergency that--

"Point One. All workers, wage earners and employees of any kind whatsoever shall henceforth be attached to their jobs and shall not leave nor be dismissed nor change employment, under penalty of a term in jail. The penalty shall be determined by the Unification Board, such Board to be appointed by the Bureau of Economic Planning and National Resources. All persons reaching the age of twenty-one shall report to the Unification Board, which shall assign them to where, in its opinion, their services will best serve the interests of the nation.

"Point Two. All industrial, commercial, manufacturing and business establishments of any nature whatsoever shall henceforth remain in operation, and the owners of such establishments shall not quit nor leave nor retire, nor close, sell or transfer their business, under pentalty of the nationalization of their establishment and of any and all of their property.

"Point Three. All patents and copyrights, pertaining to any devices, inventions, formulas, processes and works of any nature whatsoever, shall be turned over to the nation as a patriotic emergency gift by means of Gift Certificates to be signed voluntarily by the owners of all such patents and copyrights. The Unification Board shall then license the use of such patents and copyrights to all applicants, equally and without discrimination, for the purpose of eliminating monopolistic practices, discarding obsolete products and making the best available to the whole nation. No trademarks, brand names or copyrighted titles shall be used. Every formerly patented product shall be known by a new name and sold by all manufacturers under the same name, such name to be selected by the Unification Board. All private trademarks and brand names are hereby abolished.

"Point Four. No new devices, inventions, products, or goods of any nature whatsoever, not now on the market, shall be produced, invented, manufacturerd or sold afer the date of this directive. The Office of Patents and Copyrights is hereby suspended.

"Point Five. Every establishment, concern, corporation or person engaged in production of any nature whatsoever shall henceforth produce the same amount of goods per year as it, they or he produced during the Basic Year, no more and no less. The year to be known as the Basic or Yardstick Year is to be the year ending on the date of this directive. Over or under production shall be fined, such fines to be determined by the Unification Barod.

"Point Six. Every person of any age, sex, class or income, shall henceforth spend the same amount of money on the purchase of goods per year as he or she spent during the Basic Year, no more and no less. Over or under purchasing shall be fined, such fines to be determined by the Unification Board.

"Point Seven. All wages, prices, salaries, dividends, profits, interest rates and forms of income of any nature whatsoever, shall be frozen at their present figures, as of the date of this directive.

"Point Eight. All cases arising from and rules not specifically provided for in this directive, shall be settled and determined by the Unification Board, whose decisionswill be final."

We have yet to show that we can impact temperatures, let alone climate. We need to protect and care for our environment however several studies show that we are looking at climate cycles, not the impending doom of our planet.

Well, the real question here is, can President - elect Obama, through the magic of video, find a way to explain to us why global warming stopped in 1998? CO2 keeps rising. We're seeing cold records and early snow and ice recrords being being broken on every continent on earth these past few years, and this winter, after a record breaking cold summer in Alaska, is off to an exceptionally early and below average cold start here in the US?
Seems the solar scientists predicted this quite accurately. Is it not becoming obvious that the GW models aren't working as well as scientists are?

Europe has been paying taxes for carbon offsets, yet, the monies collected have not been used to offset the so called global warming. In other words, European businesses hav been lied to and now stinky BO (democrats/progressives/soros/gore) is trying to feed the US the same bull. Of course global warming is President Bush's fault. I will be happy when BO and the democratic party will be responsible enough to stop blaming President Bush for everything.

If the Messiah says the science is beyond dispute, then by golly it is. Silence you infidels !!

If this new President signs a "cap and trade" bill he will effectively be stealing money from businesses. The amount of money that get stolen will be above felony levels, let alone misdemeanors.
So if this actually goes through Obama and his minions (which include John McCain) will be committing a high crime which should lead to immediate impeachment hearings.

We have never had an honest discussion of this issue. Anyone who has a counter point of view is quickly silenced or dismissed. Before we change ourselves into a third rate power in the name of Global Warming we need to look at how the rest of the world sees this. A recent survey in England sugest over 60% do not believe G.W. is real. China,India and most of africa and South America don't care and will do whatever they want to.

What a joke. Anyone that still believes in global warming doesn't want to admit they were fooled. The biggest sham ever thrown at people of the world.

Are we still at this nonsense? Ice is reforming the Earth has warmed and cooled in the past and will continue to do so with no way for man to do anything about it.
So we are getting a President that cannot think on his own that worries me.
I wish it was warmer i would not need to heat my home but it is not and i have no choice but to send all that C02 up my chimney.

Great - the lawyer who is a socialist and does not know anything about economics is now a scientist too. He is going to multitask by bankrupting the Government, the electric utilities and the coal industry all at the same time.

There is no such thing a man-made global warming. This is specious science based on assumptions and weather models that cannot get it right for next week much less next decade. Al Gore is a retard and Obama's fumbling here will cause pain an suffering on a massive level for the poor when they cannot afford heat and electricty or to drive anywhere. The biggest question is - is Obama stupid or does he know and not care?

Well, I must be just plain stupid. Silly me, I thought having a financial system not in crisis, a manufacturing base so we aren't reliant on slave labor in hostile countries for all our products and a reliable road infrastructure so we can transport our food and people safely were three bigger issues facing the US than "investing" (taxing the consumers like you and me) for a carbon cap and trade ponzi scheme. Yep, damn stupid I am........

Ummm, specifically WHICH coasts have shrunk? I am unaware of reading a single news article about a single family having to move due to their coastline shrinking due to rising seawater due to global warming. OK, how about showing one family on one coastline that has had to move specifically for that reason. After all, as Obama said, "The science is beyond dispute and the facts are clear. Sea levels are rising. Coastlines are shrinking...." So, how about showing a fact of a family anywhere in the world that had to move due to coastlines SHRINKING, not due to land settling, or waves washing away a piece of shoreline, or some other unrelated event.

I don't know how Obama plans to do make all these "investments" he talks about without raising taxes. But then again, "investment" is the Democrat code word for raising taxes, isn't it?

Cool Hand `Obama' addresses global warming summit, as sits in a sauna bath with his teeny-tiny speedo, listen people we are all now in a heated argument about this `global warming' thingy. it's real, belee me, it's real alright. i know because it's the only way in which my new proposed tax hiking plans will fly.

i encourage all 57 u.s. governors, especially them there dem-bros and others to tackle this troubling global warming problem -- this is important and needs to be tackled ferociously along with my 600 environ`mental' case officials and activists.

What a TOOL!! Obama is going to ruin this country. Just like his political brethren have done to the state of Illinois. Get ready USA, pay-to-play Chicago-Style politics are heading to Washington. Corruption and high paying interest groups are finally going to get their day. But it will take decades to undo what has happened to the state of IL, that is if the Nation doesn't collapse first.

Before we piss away more tax payer dollars why doesn't obama start reading the newspaper? There are more and more scientists who think the global warming thing is BS. The government's solution is to throw a lot of money at something before they have all the FACTS --- does the word IRAQ ring a bell?

Al Gore invented Global Warming.

Obama, as most liberals, has bought into the global warming hoax. He is willing to completely scuttle the economy of this country for this BS. Once again, the media is driving this issue, with it's support, just as it did with the election! I'm afraid America is too far gone to wake up in time.

This global warming FARCE is only a part of a new world threat to take control of our lives and destroy America. We are now involved in a hidden agenda called COMMON-ISM as opposed to the old communism. The goal is a world of a common society,standards,markets,currencies and borders in a world defined as global commons. Officially starting in Sept . 2000 at the UN Millenium Summit. With world leaders including Bill Clinton signing &calling for UN global jurisdiction over the earth as a "GLOBAL COMMONS" encompassing all of the air, water, land .and airways in order to tax the use of natural resources. OBAMA???
nd airways

Follow the $$

Sea levels rising -> YES, twice a day with the tide.

Coast lines shrinking -> WHERE ???

GIVE US FACTS - NOT ecobabble...

Anyone who is even open to the idea that the science behind global warming is flawed is instantly cast down as the equivalent of a Holocaust denier. And if we're even having this discussion in the first place, then obviously the science must be in question.

Keep drinking the hysteria Kool-Aid, believe everything the B.O tells you even though it goes against science.

ANYBODY BUYING INTO THE GLOBAL WARMING LIE IS DANGEROUS FOR OUR COUNTRY AND OUR ECONOMY.

The Cap and Trade, anti-capitalism, risky scheme will cost American jobs. Many companies will merely move their operations offshore, to China and India. Those that stay behind will have to lay off workers to support the carbon taxes they will be mandated to pay, which will go back to the government to pay for welfare and unemployment benefits for the same people who had jobs before cap and trade.

American businesses have already, and will continue to reduce their emissions on their own, because it is good business. We don't need more government intervention and additional taxes.

Putting additional burdens on American businesses, while the Chinese and Indians thumb their noses at us makes no sense at all. In fact, it is insane.

Obama is not an engineer or scientist. Where does he get off saying the science is clear. It is nonsense that a lawyer/politician talks with certainty of knowledge about fields of knowledge in which he has no education and no professional experience.

This global warming issue is a scam; and anyone who has done any kind of preliminary investigation can easily discover for themselves. Why are our politicians bending over backwards to perpetuate this scam? Good question, anyone have an answer?

I like global warming and hate winter.

Reference: Schwarzenegger noted that California has enacted many of the proposals and completed many of the partnerships that Obama is supporting.

Connent:
And people wonder why California is going bankrupt. This certainly is one of the reasons

Al Gore is an idiot. Every relevant scientist indicate that we are moving into a GLOBAL COOLING phase....warming is passe!!!! Why are we spending money on this nonsense?????

Obviously our Obamanation will provide dollars to every liberal cause to mankind, whether it is relevant or not! He just wants to make sure he "spreads the weath" to his liberal causes. Disgusting.

Taxing energy consumption from non-politically correct sources, and subsidizing "green" technologies that cannot compete in the market. We're so screwed. Gasoline powered cars will soon enough be only for the connected, because of a hoax.

"Man-made Global Warming" is a farce, and the new "climate change" label proves it. Temperatures are not warming, but by neutralizing the terminology any and every weather event can be blamed on you and me. Hogwash!

Since hurrican Katrina, the Gore-ites have predicted an increase in number and intensity in regard to hurricane activity. Just the opposite has happened. The Global Ice-caps are fuller, and by all recent measurements, we are in a period of Global Cooling.
Cap and trade is a recipe for economic destruction, and when your power and gas bills triple to combat a fictitious enemy you will have only Obama and the Democrats to blame.

With the so called "global warming" now showing to be a scam we see trends to try to change the name to something else in an effort to prop up the continuance of the scam. Global Warming, Global Climate Change, next will come Global Pollution. In the end though this will be show for the con scam it is. I can only hope that those behind it are publicly tried for for their crimes and imprisoned for the rest of their natural lives. That is of course if this doesn't result in the deaths of innocent victims. Then they should be tried for crimes against humanity and publicly executed.

Any world leader who makes such concrete statements like "the science is beyond dispute and the facts are clear" frankly scare the hell out of me. This means his mind is made up and the issue is no longer open to discussion. He is not even remotely in hearing an opposing point of view (or should I say the truth). This man and is "bi-partisan" colleagues are going to drive this country down the toilet and destroy our economy as fast as they can.

The one bright spot is that the AGW religion will make this Teflon Marxist a one term president and cost congress control in two years. CO2 is plant food and cooling cycles cost lives, not warming cycles. If we are headed for cooling as the trends suggest then Washington and the gullible press better get off their ass and acknowledge. AGW hype will be a far greater bubble than the housing market if Obama doesn't grow a brain.

Who is John Galt?

Obama said in his acceptance speach "we've got a planet to heal".Nancy Pelosi said we couldn't drill for oil domestically because she "had a planet to save".Then the Democrats proceeded to sue Opec for more oil anyway.At a time when the world's economy hangs by a thread,Obama intends to plunge ahead with a cap and trade system which could cost 7-8 trillion dollars over time.All base on specious science-2007 was the coldest winter on record(the avg. temp worldwide dropped 1 degree).From 1900-today, the avg. temp. had only risen 6/10 of a degree.The recent lack of sunspot activity suggests a period of colder weather for the next 50 years.Finally,the hurricane strength-global warming connection has been thouroughly de-bunked.Wake up sheeple-the lunatic are running the asylum.

Cool, more taxes, DON"T TAX ME BRO

obama has been drinking Al Gore's kool aid

It is funny how the Scandanavians have decided that no more than 20% of their grid shall be generated by wind. Electricity is not easily stored and for that reason, we have grids that transfer the power to the users who need it at different points in time. If the wind does not blow and the whole grid was generated by the wind, there is would not be enough electricity to power the entire grid. What are the wind guru's suggesting we do? Become a third world country and go without power until the wind blows?

Says he as winter comes to the East coast right on time once again. He has also been sucked in by Gores bs.

so the hottest period in the 20th century was the late 1920's the coldest was the 1970. yet there was less CO2 in the 1920 then in the 1970's. Hey Obama what's 2 + 2? Obama replies "5"

Tell the BIG LIE long enough and often enough and the public will believe it.
That;s what we have with Global Warming. It reminds me of the story i heard when i was a kid about the Emperors New Clothes. The Danger came when everyone acted upon the Lie as truth.

I voted for Obama. He will pay my mortgage and fill my gas tank. If it gets too hot, he will buy me an air conditioner and give me health insurance. And a job. Wait, why do I need a job?

This is funny. Global warming is the "great distraction" for the left to use when they are frozen with inaction on the economy and our debt. Just as politicians on both sides use abortion and gay marriage as great distractions our debt clock ticks every day with americans fixated on these distractions. I can't wait until China, Japan and others call our debt. Wow, I bet abortion, global warming and gay marriage won't be top of mind. Our great politicians now created an environment where we pay $400+ billion per year in INTEREST only. Compare that to Education on a national level of say $40 billion. The next highest outlay next to our interest on our debt is the military at around $400 billion. Imagine the things we can do without having to pay on that debt. Don't forget about State debt, local municipality debt etc. That isn't included. And finally, this isn't a Dem or Rep item THEY ARE ALL GUILTY.

Are they all walking or riding bicycles to the summit? This is so hypocritical! Only the elite get to fly and drive big cars, and Obama is going to drive our coal industry out of business when there is enough for 300 years. He will ration power and energy of all types to us peasants. This is going to be a Jimmy Carter administration X100!

Actually, the warmest year was 1938 according to NOAA. The warmest 10 years have occurred in 5 different decades. When one looks at the people who are climate scientists that deny the IPCC global warming theory, they all state that in their area of expertise, the IPCC has it wrong. They don't comment the other sections outside their specialty that claim global warming, but taken together, they all show that Al Gore and the IPCC are wrong.

Dr. Edward Wegman--former chairman of the Committee on Applied and Theoretical Statistics of the National Academy of Sciences--demolishes the famous "hockey stick" graph that launched the global warming panic.

Dr. David Bromwich--president of the International Commission on Polar Meteorology--says "it's hard to see a global warming signal from the mainland of Antarctica right now."

Prof. Paul Reiter--Chief of Insects and Infectious Diseases at the famed Pasteur Institute--says "no major scientist with any long record in this field" accepts Al Gore's claim that global warming spreads mosquito-borne diseases.

Prof. Hendrik Tennekes--director of research, Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute--states "there exists no sound theoretical framework for climate predictability studies" used for global warming forecasts.

Dr. Christopher Landsea--past chairman of the American Meteorological Society's Committee on Tropical Meteorology and Tropical Cyclones--says "there are no known scientific studies that show a conclusive physical link between global warming and observed hurricane frequency and intensity."

Dr. Antonino Zichichi--one of the world's foremost physicists, former president of the European Physical Society, who discovered nuclear antimatter--calls global warming models "incoherent and invalid."

Dr. Zbigniew Jaworowski--world-renowned expert on the ancient ice cores used in climate research--says the U.N. "based its global-warming hypothesis on arbitrary assumptions and these assumptions, it is now clear, are false."

Prof. Tom V. Segalstad--head of the Geological Museum, University of Oslo--says "most leading geologists" know the U.N.'s views "of Earth processes are implausible."

Dr. Syun-Ichi Akasofu--founding director of the International Arctic Research Center, twice named one of the "1,000 Most Cited Scientists," says much "Arctic warming during the last half of the last century is due to natural change."

Dr. Claude Allegre--member, U.S. National Academy of Sciences and French Academy of Science, he was among the first to sound the alarm on the dangers of global warming. His view now: "The cause of this climate change is unknown."

Dr. Richard Lindzen--Professor of Meteorology at M.I.T., member, the National Research Council Board on Atmospheric Sciences and Climate, says global warming alarmists "are trumpeting catastrophes that couldn't happen even if the models were right."

Dr. Habibullo Abdussamatov--head of the space research laboratory of the Russian Academy of Science's Pulkovo Observatory and of the International Space Station's Astrometria project says "the common view that man's industrial activity is a deciding factor in global warming has emerged from a misinterpretation of cause and effect relations."

Dr. Richard Tol--Principal researcher at the Institute for Environmental Studies at Vrije Universiteit, and Adjunct Professor at the Center for Integrated Study of the Human Dimensions of Global Change, at Carnegie Mellon University, calls the most influential global warming report of all time "preposterous . . . alarmist and incompetent."

Dr. Sami Solanki--director and scientific member at the Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research in Germany, who argues that changes in the Sun's state, not human activity, may be the principal cause of global warming: "The sun has been at its strongest over the past 60 years and may now be affecting global temperatures."

Prof. Freeman Dyson--one of the world's most eminent physicists says the models used to justify global warming alarmism are "full of fudge factors" and "do not begin to describe the real world."

Dr. Eigils Friis-Christensen--director of the Danish National Space Centre, vice-president of the International Association of Geomagnetism and Aeronomy, who argues that changes in the Sun's behavior could account for most of the warming attributed by the UN to man-made CO2.

The deniers are out in force, I see...

He has spoken. He has shown us THE WAAAAAYYY!

So, are you all in the press going to start addressing the fact that the science is NOT settled? Or are you going to keep going down the road of irrevelence? You wonder why you're going bankrupt and losing your jobs. It's because you print these kind of idiotic assertions unchallenged and unquestioned. And as a scientist, I must also ask: Where are you, oh brethren of climatalogical physics and chemistry? Have you all decided to knuckle under to the New Inquisition? Do any of YOU have any integrity left or are grants all that matter any more? The level of ignorance in this society is astonishing. (A little factoid for the scientifically challenged: Water vapor in the atmosphere has 24,000 times the impact on global warming as does CO2. Ya know, the stuff formed by evaporation due to the energy absorbed from the Sun. That big fusion reactor thingy that warms the planet. Every day. All day.)

The church of Global Warming, what a fraud. Funny to see all the sheep/drones falling for the crap!

I like how the libs say they are smart and yet say and believe such dumb things. I hope we have a blizzard on the white house all year round. CO2 is plant food dumbass.

He is the biggest moron to ever hold the office.

What ever happend to our Ozone Depletion? Government regulations fixed that right? Or wait!
At any given time, ozone molecules are constantly formed and destroyed in the stratosphere. The total amount, however, remains relatively stable. The concentration of the ozone layer can be thought of as a stream's depth at a particular location. Although water is constantly flowing in and out, the depth remains constant.
So it sounds like our Government fixed all the Ozone Depletion mumbo jumbo!

So now it's a global warming tactic they are using.

What will be next... The earth is over populated & now we have an over abundance of methane gas production. So our Government is asking us to hold it in!

oboy..here it comes....more bs from the greenies...lock up you wallet...it is nothing more than putting american citizens tighter into a little box for more control....

Damn and i was hoping the sea levels would rise enough so id have ocean front property!

I agree with many of the posters here that global warming is a hoax. And
the president-elect who says: "The science is beyond dispute"
really frightens me.

Those millions of jobs he is talking about??? Who do you think is going
to pay for them? Certainly not the private sector.

It's clear to me that we have a very liberal, uninformed and socialist president-elect. Suddenly the future is looking pretty dim!

"Few challenges facing America -- and the world – are more urgent than combating climate change," he (Obama) says in the video.
Hey, Obama! Heard this before. Remember when it was a global crisis in 1977 over the coming ice age? Remember when it was a global crisis over planet wide food shortages in the 1970's? Remember when it was a global crisis the oil was going to run out in the 1990's? Remember when it was a global crisis about global warming (aslso) in the 1990's? Remember in 1999 when it was a global crisis when Y2K was a global crisis. Remember when it was a global crisis in 2002 when Iraq was a threat to world peace? Remember when it was a global crisis in 2007 when bird flu was going to kill millions?
Please leave us alone and stop bleating like some chicken little about global crisises. We're getting tired of it.
The planet stopped warming in 1998. It's been getting cooler since then. Sunspot activity is now zero and, as a result, planet temperatures have been dropping and all this NOTHING to do with your ridiculous claims from still yet
"crisis."
It's enough if you people would read the Constitution, get a life ,and off your self important high horses and get down to working on real probems such as:
1) the governemnt is a bloated mass of bureaucracy and politicans which is causing the tax payer too much of his/her hard earned income
2) how to get the bureaucrats out of our every day lives and stop trying to bleed us dry
3) get rid of agencies like the IRS, Federal Resevre system, etc. which have been responsible for our economic problems since 1913.
4) I could go on but what's the point?

minimizback to the Constituion again.

terrorism was going to destrpy western civil

This from a man who wants to create a "civilian police force" with a budget comparable to the military's (speech in Colorado, July 2 2008).

My gosh, this man scares the hell out of me. Sounds more like Germany in 1932.

Sieg Heil!

Global warming has been pushed upon the public by media and some publicity starved scientist aided by media darlings. Very little by way of unbiased research and media coverage has been presented to prove or disprove this matter. It wasn't 20 years ago that scientist thought we were entering a slow eveolving ice age. Go figure! People should be very suspecious about anyone in government pushing one theory. Remember...the bailout had to be done within one day. Now what do we have. Politicians!@#$%^

Wow! I can only hope that those opposing Obama and his bots will get behind the people making the documentaries refuting global warming, and even Oprabama's election. We need to be heard this time. The voice of reason has been too quiet lately.

It is sad that so many Americans are uninformed. They have no idea that this has been proven to be a hoax by a majority of scientists. The uninformed are feeling with their hearts and not thinking with their minds. They don't bother to think things through and understand what they are so passionate about. They will have to learn the hard way. Just as it took Americans several hundred years to realize that slavery was wrong, it will also take at least a few decades for them to get over this media made hoax. We will all be dead by then.
I have read all 69 comments made here and only the first one supports what Osama lied about. It appears that his 3 million man e-mail army is already at work. They put out this garbage and have supporters comment on them. Get used to this type of propaganda. Just as the global warming hoax has infiltrated the uninformed public, so will the rest of the liberal lies and hoaxes. Obamunism is in full force. We need to stop it. One way to do this is stay informed. It appears that 68 of you have actually done your research. 1 has not bothered to look at the scientific facts. 1 has decided to agree with the few scientists that are taking government grants to some how prove this hoax to be true. Trust me. I know that this goes on. My very liberal, very good friend is a scientist for the government. He does research on trees and has told me that it is all about the money. He is paid to create facts that are not really factual.

This is just a way for Al Gore and his friends to get their hands in our pockets and take total control of our lives. Goodbye freedom and the pursuit of happinies. This will raise taxes kill jobs and have little or no effect on the climate. We do not control the climate. Hell we cant even control our own kids.( Now that they are brainwashed with liberal ideas at our schools). These people do not create wealth they steal it from others. What about the wild fires and valcanos spewing stuff into the enviorment? Logging would help with the fires but the tree huggers wont let us do that either. I am all for conservation and limiting pollution but lets face it we have billions of people in the world who need to eat, work, and try to pursue happiness.
And you got these aholes flying around the globe in their jets telling us that we need to sacrafice. The last time I looked they all live pretty good and have never had a real job. We have went from The Greatest Generation to the biggest bunch of braindead whinning crybabies in the history of the world. WAKE UP AMERICA!

Junior always has his mouth open yapping but he has absolutely nothing to say. Man-made global warming is a hoax designed to extort yet more money from the American people; Gore has made about 9 million since the inception of this fraud. I care not one whit about MGW however, if one is truly concerned about CO2 emissions, perhaps the global warming crazies, including Gore, Obama, and Schwarzenegger should just shut up and stop breathing. This one simple act would help control the gas and would vastly improve the world.

Man is a moment in geological time - Will Durant. Read or listen to Will Durant's The Lessons of History. It is scary, everything he predicts is coming true.

Question: How many toasters can a 150 ft windmill power in a 5mph wind?
Answer: about 7

It's all about CONTROL! Socialist love CONTROL.Be sure to place your objections with the Ministry of Love.Oopsss,That was in George Orwell's 1984.
Need I say more? Keep tightning those chains.The sooner we will break them!

Global Warming is the TAXATION "goose that laid the golden egg" for governments of developed countries. The uniform and exquisite solution they all love. The perfect guilt tax to be forced on the masses who will be coached and coerced to pay ever increasing taxes out of patriotism and fear of damaging, what... nature? Perfect in the planning because we cannot, for one minute, lay blame at the foot of our endlessly expanding and needy governments and administrations. Somebody said "wake up." This is, finally, is cause for re-reading our constitution and reaffirming our power as a free nation and assuring that we keep it that way. Washington is out of control - this is not about science.

Global Warming is a total myth and our government, instead of focussing on the most urgent issues like the economy, oil indepedence, and national security, are chasing after this rainbow with our tax dollars in tow! The enviro-nazis and the hucksters like Al Gore (only because there is big money to made!) have been harping on this rubbish for years to no avail because people in power previously were too smart to give then any creditability. Now that the hardcore left has taken over D.C., these rats will fester! Write to your congressional representatives today and urge them to ignore these loons and get on with the REAL priorities!!!

I was praying BO would be smart enough, to hire smart people to tell him what to say and do..... NOT!

Stuart, one correction. Global warming is a hypothesis, not a theory. Theories are hypotheses with a large bank of experimental evidence, something global warming does not have. In fact, every experiment designed to test the hypothesis of man-made global warming has come out negative, ie. man-made global warming is not true..

I would laugh if this wasn't so serious. This whole global warming is political speak for "let's raise some money". Check out www.icecap.us and get the real facts.

funny, isn't California bankrupt.

I am getting concerned about the ease at which the lies fly out of Barrys mouth. Not only that, the idea that congress wants to bail out the auto. industry. They want to regulate the kind of cars being made. This all adds up to a "enviro-disaster". They will never learn they can not control the market, the absence of fuel efficient cars is not Detroit's problem. The problem is labor costs. It's that simple. Now back to Global warming. It is a scam, plain and simple. A new way to tax. The country will be destroyed if it falls for this rubbish!

"The science is beyond dispute and the facts are clear" quote is one that is repeated over and over again by politicians and others who have an agenda. Control and dependency is the agenda. I have not heard or read one reputable scientist repeat those words. There is only silence or refutation.

The climate is always changing either heating up or cooling, depending on factors that are so much greater than whatever effect humans as have been pointed out in the comments above. There have been tremendous climatic changes over the past billion or so years, the various Ice Ages, the tropical warmth experienced during the Jurassic era. All of these without the influence of human civilization.

The planet will exist beyond the life span of the humans species, it is life as we know it that is what the concern is. To say that we control the climate without regard to sunspots, volcanic activity, the modulation of the magnetic fields, is the most arognt statement ever made and setting us up for failure.

Notice how they now talk more about "Climate Change" instead of Global Warming? Why? Because it's freezing this morning!!! London had its first October snowfall in 74 years!! China FROZE last winter, and I had to chip ice off my windshield last week (and I live in the SOUTHERN United Socialist States of America!!)

Wotta joke!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So, it's official.

Our country is now to be bankrupted by the hubris and social narcissism at the heart of Climate Crisistianity - the new anti-carbon religion based on blind faith, flawed computer projections, junk science, wishful thinking, "central planning", shouting down debate and willful ignorance of the earth's last ten years of cooling.

Got it.

Hilarious.

Every single one of Obama's alleged "consequences of Global Warming" is patently and verifiably false. And Schwarzenegger's assurances that California will take action are puzzlingly incorrect. In fact Alternative Energy and Fuel initiatives were SOUNDLY defeated just 15 days ago.

But this is the way of the AGW movement isn't it. Regardless of the facts, you just go on bleating the mantra, and hope all the other sheep start bleating it too.

That said, the mentality of the sheep is making life great for this wolf. Californians, and Americans in general, have shown recently that they are willing to throw their last borrowed dime at the whims of the masses, out of fear of being left out. This wolf didn't mortgage his future on an overpriced house, glossing over the fine print, just to be part of the herd. Nor will this wolf dump his hard earned money into carbon credits and Priuses. Not surprisingly this wolf is living large during the alleged financial collapse, snatching up bargain houses and sports cars, from sheep who don't have another thread of wool to sell.

So hey, if ignoring the truth is the game then so be it. I used to be a total Global Warming denier. I've since decided that I can't afford NOT to support it!!! Especially given all the great things coming my way as a result of others believing it. Suckers!!!

Listen, don't blame me. 53 percent of you folks out there voted for this man so you can just darn well live with it!!!

I am looking for Global Warming whether natural or manmade and it seems to have disappeared for the last several years.
The politicians will destroy the economy with their lust for control. You control CO2 emissions you control everything.
By the way, I wish the people of California would do to Arnold what they did to Gray Davis. That once great and beautiful state is going to Hades in a handbasket as Arnold convenes conferences on a trace gas that is necessary for life.

Last month, I had breakfast with a friend and we were discussing global warming. Here's how it went.

He said that global temperatures are rising. So I asked how he knew that and he replied, “Thousands of scientists say so.” I asked who they were and he said he heard about them on Air America. I then told him about the Chairman of the IPCC, Rajendra Pachauri, and Secretary General of the WMO (World Meterological Organization), Michel Jarraud, both of whom have acknowledged there has been no warming so far this century, possibly since 1995. That did not change his

mind. “Temperatures are rising,” he said. I then pointed out that the four major satellite temperature tracking systems (NASA/GISS, UAH, RSS, HADCRU) recorded that temperatures have actually dropped about a half degree since 2007. Right over his head. “Temperatures are rising and if we don’t cut back on CO2 emissions, it will be disaster.” I then asked him if the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) agreed with Pacharui, Jarraud and the tracking systems, would that change his mind. “No it would not. There’s no point in you trying to change my mind.” Those were his exact words! Finally, I asked him if the scientists he heard about on Air America should contact the IPCC, WMO, NASA and NAS to inform them they are wrong. “Yes, they should.” Again, his exact words. This is classic cognitive dissonance, the willful and complete disregard for truth in light of the most compeling evidence. I suspect Obama would respond no differently.

I enjoy talking with my friend, but on this issue he is like many others who believe the lie that man made CO2 is raising temperatures to the point of environmental disaster

This global warming hysteria is the new religion. People better wake up and realize what we're dealing with here. Have you talked to a "believer". It's like talking to a wall. Their belief in the doomsday scenario and the great goal in "saving the planet from CO2" is a severe form of brainwashing. CO2 is NOT pollution! Obama must be stopped. Putting thousands and thousands of massive wind turbines across the entire countryside WILL DO NOTHING but make alot of people very rich.

Please give Mr. Obama an introductory course in geology! The face of the planet is shaped by climate change…. Ever heard of an Ice Age? That’s real climate change and it’s happened dozens of times during the history of the earth. Climate change is the only thing constant about the climate. C02 does not drive climate! The amount of money wasted on this scheme is criminal.

aren't wind turbines the best source of natural electricity?

its hard to say but i appreciate sites lie 99problems.org that actually try to fix the problem.

Yes. Global warming sounds fishy to me since it is a fact that the world has cooled down the last 5 years. Just look it up.. yall should bring this up on 99problems.org

@ Bison Ghost...haha very very true! But you do have to admit that we should start to converse energy and reduce pollution for our own health and for the health of the Earth. Sometimes technology is not such a good thing.

Mr. Bison has a definite point. Well what can be done to bring awareness to this? Seems like there is always a scheme. Reagan the Contra era, Bush the Desert Storm Era, Clinton the BlowJob Era and whitewater, and of course the Bush Jr, the Dumba** era of presidency.

the american people still should take a step in the right direction and going semi green. it will help out in the end.

Quite a revelation seeing what all you Americans are saying. We only get the official line over here. And you're witty with it. Btw we got lots of windmills too, swinging their arms around in the wind and looking very impressive on the skyline without actually going anywhere. Same as yours, they're called politicians. Love y'all.

Finally a President who gets it. At this point 98 percent of the scientific evidence shows that global warming is a real threat so let's skip the Bush level ignorance. Republicans have once again proven that they really aren't to smart are they?
