Obama: Carbon ‘Eating Out Planet,’ ‘A Threat to Our Children’s Future’ By Fred Lucas October 11, 2012
(CNSNews.com) – President Barack Obama warned his supporters about the threat of global warming and vowed that more money to subsidize green energy firms would prevent it.
“By the way, yes, my plan will reduce the carbon pollution that is eating our planet because climate change is not a hoax,” Obama said at a campaign rally at the Bank United Arena at the University of Miami. “More droughts and hurricanes and wildfires, that’s not a joke. That’s a threat to our children’s future, and we can do something about it.”
Obama said that he planned to spend more money to subsidize green projects such as wind and solar if elected to a second term. Obama’s Republican opponent Mitt Romney has criticized him for spending $90 billion on green energy companies, many of which went into bankruptcy.
This week, the House Energy and Commerce Committee announced it is seeking information from the Department of Energy about a $400 million loan to Abound Solar, which recently filed for bankruptcy. Abound was the fifth stimulus-funded green energy firm and the third to file for bankruptcy after Solyndra and Beacon Power.
Obama vowed to pay for the subsidies by taking away tax breaks to oil companies.
“So, now you’ve got a choice. My plan would cut our oil imports in half and invest in the clean energy that has created thousands of jobs all across America,” the president said at the Florida rally.

Sorry for the run-on text for previous post. I hate the FR text editor!
Obama has no science.
Like algore, when science is involved, he doesn’t know his ass from a hole in the ground.
Obama is merely reading the prompter in a sincere pissed off act
Here is the important point of my run-on text:
If we doubled CO2, we don’t even know what the temperature would do. However, since nobody knows what how far from the optimum temperature we are, we don’t know if warmer is really worse off or not. Coincidentally, every liberal plan to cut CO2 also destroys prosperity and liberty while giving us bigger government. I have no doubt this is the real climate that liberals want to change.
Don't hand out the award yet. Biden has 90 minutes without his muzzle tonight.
“Eating out planet”...well I hope Gaia’s enjoying it...
New paper on climate sensitivity estimates 1.1 ± 0.4 °C for a doubling of CO2

not unless she gets free contraceptives, too.
He promised 5 million. At least he admits that his 10s of billions in spending only created a few thousand jobs -- at a cost of around a million each.
No, Mr. Obama, you are.
Good grief! Obamunist is a fool, but a piece that indicates that the source does not know the difference between the words “out” and “our” is not going to keep my attention past the second sentence.
Obummer is a threat to dogs everywhere.
Takes one to know one?
We are carbon-based life forms you jug-eared moron.
It is true that climate change is not a hoax. Climate change has existed for tens of thousands of years. The hoax part is that climate change is attributed to mankind and carbon emissions. Yes, it is a good idea to husband our resources and support "green" energy where it is economically and technologically feasible.
Climate change is caused by the Sun and impacts planets in our solar system. Man must plan for, and accommodate climate change as it occurs. But blaming it on carbon emissions is plain stupid, economically disastrous, and unscientific.
