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.
Time to start just ignoring this moron and all his stupid anti-American laws. Oh, and there is a Hurricane that is devastating America. It is called Hurricane DC and it is a category 6 on the scale of devastation, flattening every thing in its path.
Obama isn’t a scientist nor are the FORECASTERS whose forecasts are accountable when WRONG...this is 100% political to harm the economies of republican states...what does Obama have on Boehner who has been under justice dept investigation for years

What has me worried this year is that the NOAA has finally predicted a weak hurricane season. When are they ever right ?
Swear, I did not see your image before posting. Thanks for the illustration. Hurricane Obama or Hurricane DC ? You know when Hillary takes over it will probably increase to a Cat 7.
There’s nothing that’s caused more distruction to this country than himmicane obama.
The East Coast of Indiana has a good chance of a hurricane hitting it this year.
If Joe Bastardi is right that very well could happen!
I’m tying things down.....
Well, with that as the basis, this year is bound to have a record increase.
See too, "year of the shark."
Ah, just shut up, you jug-eared jackass!
its all because they think southern oscillator is pointing to el nino....
That’s what Algore and his AGW buddies said after Katrina, but there were several years in which no large hurricanes made landfall in the US. So Obama, like Algore before him, is a clueless moron, repeating the elitists’ talking points.
Yep. The blithering idiot (OBOZO) is PRAYING to ALLAH for a catastrophe...ANY kind of disaster to help smokescreen what he is really doing...that is, LOOTING THE TREASURY.
If a devastating hurricane doesn’t happen, he will say climate change is the problem. There isn’t anything that can happen (or not) that he won’t blame on climate change.
He needs to be run out on a rail, tarred and feathered. Lying bastard.
