While announcing new fuel efficiency standards for cars and light trucks on Tuesday, President Barack Obama said “unchecked” carbon pollution prior to his administration’s efforts to raise fuel economy standards “was having severe impacts on our weather.”

“Carbon pollution was going unchecked, which was having severe impacts on our weather,” Obama said in a speech at a Safeway distribution center in Upper Marlboro, MD.

I anticipate another huge investment in green energy that will go nowhere except to line the pockets of Democrats.

This dumbass claims he taught the U.S. Constitution to young college skulls full of mush for 10 years. We know how that went. Now the dumbass wants us to believe that think that he’s a climate scientist. That’s what happens when you elect a moron to the presidency and hand him the “everybody gets a trophy” version of the Nobel prize.

The comment section posted after that article says it all.

Well almost all although no one mentioned the unthinkable damage this fiasco will do to the trucking industry alone.

Save The World for solo Presidential Jet Ferrying!

The path to total control is two-fold. First, encourage people to believe in things that are untrue. Second, encourage them to disbelieve in things which are true. Soon, those in power become the arbiters of truth, and no one knows the difference.

If that’s the test, Bozo is getting a failing grade, not just marginal fail, he’s in deep, deep fail!

Please show me any legitimate scientific source that proves CO2 has any relationship to atmospheric warming. In the past CO2 levels have been much higher and global temps much cooler. The C02 fallacy is the fundamental flaw in their argument but for some reason genuine scientists won’t use it as a battering-ram to destroy their lies. I guess they’re afraid of politically-correct peer-pressure and its effect on their tenure paths.
