Germany might be looking to scale way back on their own overly optimistic long-term and government subsidized renewable-energy plans as electricity prices are skyrocketing around the country, but that didn’t stop President Obama from advocating more of the same during his speech in Berlin today, accompanied by all of the usual grandiose platitudes. Via The Hill:
“Peace with justice means refusing to condemn our children to a harsher, less hospitable planet,” he said in a speech at Berlin’s Brandenberg Gate. “The effort to slow climate change requires bold action.”
Obama touted his first-term work on green energy and boosting auto efficiency rules, but added: “We know we have to do more – and we will do more.” …
“With a global middle class consuming more energy every day, this must now be an effort of all nations, not just some. For the grim alternative affects all nations – more severe storms, more famine and floods, new waves of refugees, coastlines that vanish, oceans that rise. This is the future we must avert,” Obama said.
“This is the global threat of our time. And for the sake of future generations, our generation must move toward a global compact to confront a changing climate before it is too late. That is our job. That is our task. We have to get to work,” he said, according to a White House transcript.
And the White House is planning to do more, especially via executive and regulatory fiat. I mentioned last week that the Obama administration has been hinting to ardent climate-change activists and Democratic base supporters that they have big plans they’re going to reveal next month, and a White House spokesperson gave a few more not-unexpected indications about the type of rules and regs they have in the pipeline, reports National Journal:

What a creep.
Wo is das freibier?!
In his honor I think I will burn a tire today or maybe turn my thermostat down to 75 (soon they will control those too).
It’s no wonder Obama has Brown Eyes when you realize what his head is full of, probably has stinky breath too.
The “global threat of our time” is the lies that misanthropic environmental-entrepreneurs tell.
Sorry Barry. YOU and your ‘RAT comrades are the “global threat” of our time.
but wait....michelle says it’s obesity
So lets see you stop China from building a coal plant per week.
LOOK! SQUIRREL!
Climate change? Is that the same one where they just figured out the Earth has actually been cooling over the past 15 years instead of warming?
Almost right. Actually Islam is the global threat of our time. But thanks for playing.
Yep. Iranian Mullahs could raise the global temperature 2000 degrees in a few seconds.
This is actually a good thing. JFK’s speech was historic. Reagan’s speech was historic. The libs are doing their best to make Obama a “historic”, visionary President. So, 30 years from now, when a President goes to Berlin, and they’re playing excepts of past speeches, they can play this part, and show what a buffoon Obama is for buying into the “sky is falling” claptrap that is Global Warming. He’s now on record.
How is it possible that I hate this man more everyday?!?

Flies love him.
The US government has become nothing but a mobster racket.
If you’re speaking of nukes, it’s a whole lot more than that.
Wait a minute. I thought this was fixed.
How is it possible that I hate this man more everyday?!?
I ask myself the same question. I sometimes wonder if I should ask God for forgiveness but haven’t brought myself around to do so yet.
He is a vile demon. Pure evil.
Well I’m glad we don’t have global starvation to worry about anymore. Why just yesterday:
According to the World Health Organization, hunger is the single gravest threat to the world’s public health.[2] The WHO also states that malnutrition is by far the biggest contributor to child mortality, present in half of all cases.[2] Undernutrition is a contributory factor in the death of 2.6 million children every year.[3] Figures on actual starvation are difficult to come by, but according to the FAO, the less severe condition of undernourishment currently affects about 925 million people, or about 13.5% of the world population.[4]

I don’t think you need to be forgiven for hating this man. He is garbage.
I thought sea levels subsided in 2008?
“Ich bin eine scheisser!”
(TOT: tee hee)
You’re right. He’s an evil enemy of all that is good.
I knew a Catholic Priest who said it was okay to “take out” one’s enemies especially when they were a threat to one’s well being, security, freedom and prosperity.
I’m just grateful we’re not threatened by Global Warming anymore. We really nixed that one!
I’m Catholic myself, but maybe not a very good one. I don’t believe in turning the other cheek, and I don’t forgive evil people.
May as well be saying that randomness is the threat of our time.
Pick out the bogeyman that can’t be proven or disproven and sell it to the masses who use the State Lottery as their financial planning vehicle.
Slam dunk, which reminds that the masses know more about the Miami Heat than compound interest.
Do people not laugh or at least chuckle when somebody says something implying that climate change hasn’t been thoroughly debunked? When Carney says ridiculous stuff in the briefings, is there not a titter of laughter?
I guess he hasn’t got the message yet.
I'm sure glad God does.
Someone forgot to inform jug ears that Germany has been slashing it’s state subsidies to push green energy...
...with Justice...
Obama code word to activate OFA to start twisting arms.
Why? You’re glad God forgives rapists...murderers?
I don’t question God, but I’m not “glad” He does.
I think that was the lost past of the Sermon on the Mount or an addendum to the one greatest commandment. "I tell you Kill your Brother if he is a threat to your well being, security, freedom and prosperity". I think you are fibbing here my friend, no priest which was trained in the Catholic church would utter such stupidity.
North Korea and Eyeran are threatening the world with nukes and this halfwit calls weather change (sorry, most people think of climate as “weather”) the global threat. Uhm, OK.
Global warming is in Newspeak, 10th ed.
Climate change is in the 11th edition.
Do you not have the latest edition, comrade?
Ah, I saw you grimace!
That’s facecrime.
Off to a goodthink camp with you!
The “global threat of our time” is actually OBAMA.
Only if the climate is Islamic.
You betcha. None of us are without sin.
I am suddenly reminded of Bugs Bunny saying of one of his perpetual adversaries (I forget whether it was Elmer Fudd or Daffy Duck), “What a maroon! [sic]”
I hope you’ve been posting via a Tor router ever since you signed up for your user name here. Otherwise let us know how your encounter with the Secret Service goes when someone misinterprets observation of a moral judgement in favor of assassination as a threat, rather than the statement of a (another’s) moral judgement.
Obama is the Manchurian Candidate and knows absolutely nothing about anything of the Presidency. No one can be in touch with the real world and make a statement like that. Absolutely stunning.
Well, I hope they rot in hell.
I’ll give you the last word if you would like.
The Global Threat of our time is YOU, you double-g*d-damned islamist filthbag.
Just as Adolf was, and Mohammed before him.
You’re obviously racist. :o)
