anuary 28, 2014, 09:42 pm 'Climate change is a fact,' Obama declares

By Laura Barron-Lopez

President Obama said the debate over climate change is settled during his State of the Union speech on Tuesday evening.

"The shift to a cleaner energy economy won’t happen overnight, and it will require tough choices along the way," Obama said.

"But the debate is settled. Climate change is a fact."

"And when our children’s children look us in the eye and ask if we did all we could to leave them a safer, more stable world, with new sources of energy, I want us to be able to say yes, we did," Obama added emphatically.

The comments were met with a standing ovation from the majority of Democrats. But Democratic Senator Joe Manchin (W.Va.), who represents a coal-producing state, didn't join in, and Rep. Michelle Bachmann (R-Minn.) was spotted shaking her head.

The president has made tackling climate change a priority of his second term. The centerpiece of the effort is new regulations from the Environmental Protection Agency that will limit carbon emissions from new and existing power plnats.

That...uh...that is, after all, what climates tend to do. All liberals have left to cling to here is the desperate straw man that anyone’s denying that climates change. He might as well be saying “moving trees make the wind blow. You’re denying that the wind is blowing. It’s a fact.” Pathetic.

No Obama there, Sherlock.

The climate changes from cold in the winter to hot in the summer. All the time.

Even Biden could have told him that.

[Obozo] "But the debate is settled. Climate change is a fact."

KMA, you Communism-pushing poseur.

The entire Rio agenda was nothing but a warmed-over Communist Party platform. No wonder the Gorebot went for it; his daddy was joined at the hip with American Communist billionaire Armand Hammer.

Eh. Climate change is a fact...and probably irrelevant to any of his follow-on statements.

My tree is growing...I need a new car.

It snowed last week...and I need to do the laundry tonight.

Spring is coming...and Obama wants to play more people for fools.

Yup. Just look at how the forecast changes every few hours in Atlanta. Climate change is real. Define climate.

And when my children’s children look me in the eye, they are going to be asking about why did we borrow so much money from China, so that they are bogged down in taxes for their entire lifetimes, just so we could buy more crystal for the State Department or give 0bamaphones to the “needy” or make sure that kids could get 2 or 3 meals a day at school in addition to their food stamps.

Climate change has always been a fact.

Anthropomorphic climate change of any significance?

Not so much.

Well......about that. It doesn't seem to be a fact anymore.......so we will change it to climate change, after all who can prove or disprove that.

And you are violating the Constitution daily. The debate is settled, you are a traitor to this country, it’s a fact.

Climate changes.

We should not pay a tax because we breathe.

The logical conclusion to EnviroNazis is eugenics. Massive eugenics.

“But of course, my liege. Climate change is a fact. Would my lord care to consult the Court Phrenologist at this time?
