Obama warns of 'devastating' hurricanes from climate change
The Hill ^ | 5/30/14 | Laura Barron-Lopez

Posted on 06/01/2014 2:25:37 PM PDT by Libloather

President Obama warned Friday that storms like Hurricane Sandy will become more frequent as climate change intensifies.

While being briefed by emergency response officials at the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) headquarters, Obama urged the public to prepare now for this year's hurricane season.

"The changes we’re seeing in our climate means that, unfortunately, storms like Sandy could end up being more common and more devastating," Obama said.

"And that’s why we’re also going to be doing more to deal with the dangers of carbon pollution that help to cause this climate change and global warming. And that’s why we’re also, with the terrific help of these departments, thinking of how we can build more resilient infrastructure," he added.

The administration is preparing to unveil Obama's signature climate change regulation Monday, which will limit carbon emissions from coal-fired power plants.

After leaving FEMA headquarters, Obama visited the Children's National Medical Center, according to a White House pool report.

There Obama met with children who are being treated for asthma, an illness aggravated by air pollution, a White House official said.

Obama is at the hospital to tape his weekly address, which will focus on the forthcoming carbon pollution rule.

Once again our dickhead president proves he doesn’t know his ass from page 8.

This post is a test. Wondering if it will be deleted or not. It is important to know where boundaries are, elsewise you wouldn’t be able to push the envelope

I think he is announcing that he plans to do a lot worse than letting some terrorists go if the few patriots opposing him do not stop it right now.

The East Coast of the US has a good chance of a hurricane hitting it this year. Take a look at Joe Bastardi’s commentary from this past Saturday.

I heard about global warming in 1972. It was presented as a well accepted theory. Now I google to ask has the sea level of the north shore of Long Island risen in the past thirty years. I get four articles all predictions. No of course the level has not changed

I also get a photo of the underwater roller coaster at sea right nj after Sandy

It’s a result of global warming. Not exactly. But enough to get me a sneer when I line up at whole foods to purchase without my own bags. Each time is valued at one foot per year judging from the anger

And I buy meat and cheese and good food that doesn’t make my kids break out in eczema. Labeled organic or not its poison or it isn’t. And the cholesterol craze has also been debunked. It was one guys opinion as was baby formula, population explosion and Barack Obama too

Local meteorologist says few if any, hurricanes predicted this year. I'd rather trust the local meteorologist than Obama.

No. Ike destroyed Galveston and much of our area in 2008. Katrina was in 2005. The fact that the levees in NOLA broke was responsible for the damage, more so than the hurricane itself.

Just read this in, of all places, the Washington Post:

Number of days since major hurricane (Cat 3 or higher) made landfall in the US: 3100

If that's "frequent devastating hurricanes caused by global climate change," we live in Bizarro World.

Two more years of this little faggot, and then his predictions will rank right up there with Jimmy Carter’s. He’s behind the curve on this one, since it is already a failed prediction made by AGW kooks, but his teleprompter has him convinced hurricanes are a better bet than a catastrophic rise in sea levels, or dying polar bears.

“Obama warns of ‘devastating’ hurricanes from climate change”

After six years of this creep we learned a long time ago, if he say something is a problem, it’s not; and if he says there’s no problem, then we’ve got a problem.

algore has been predicting devastating hurricane seasons every year since Katrina. The minute he did, the hurricanes have been nearly nil. Yet no one in the media calls him on this. He and his doom prophesying ilk ought to publicly humiliated over this and the rest of the nonsense they spew.

Most of the climatologists who do support the idea that man-made CO2 is contributing to “climate change” do not support the idea that severe storms are definitely going to increase because of “climate change”.
