Obama to Announce the ‘Biggest, Most Important Step We’ve Ever Taken’ on Climate Change
theblaze.com ^ | 8/3/2015 | Liz Klimas

President Barack Obama is mandating even steeper greenhouse gas cuts from U.S. power plants than previously expected, while granting states more time and broader options to comply.

The tweaks to Obama’s unprecedented emissions limits on power plants, to be unveiled at the White House on Monday, aim to address a bevy of concerns raised by both environmentalist and the energy industry. The Environmental Protection Agency received more than 4 million public comments after Obama announced the proposed version last year, and opponents of the plan attempted unsuccessfully to stop it in Congress and in the courts.

And the downward spiral continues. CONgress? I don't need no steenkin' congress. Remember the "--will necessarily skyrocket" comment. Skyrockets on the way cause, well, it's necessary.

The good news is the next president can unwind this deal. The bad news is nobody every unwinds any bad deal.

I'll believe in man-made global warming when those that believe it, act like it.

Have seen a single high-profile provocateur act like it yet?

ALGORE surely doesn't act like it.

This, like most everything obama says, is not true. the “biggest, most important step” we could ever take on “climate change” would be to remove him from power ... can’t happen soon enough, ‘though.

We need to inform the atmosphere that it is not adhering to the predictions closely enough, and that it had better get it's act together.

How many trillions do we need to spend to ensure the climate never ever changes again?

Jane Fonda sounds climate change alarm in Toronto
The Star ^ | July 4, 2015 | Christopher Reynolds

"The climate change problem is the issue of our civilization. It will affect everything about our lives if we don’t do something about it," she [Jane Fonda] says.

The environment is suffering damage that could be irreversible — global warming, the greenhouse effect, the melting of the polar ice caps, the rising sea level, hurricanes — with terrible social occurrences that will shake life on this planet.”

“I believe this idea has a strong connection with reality. I don’t think we have much time. Fidel Castro said in one of his speeches I read not so long ago, ‘tomorrow could be too late, let’s do now what we need to do’.”

I believe it is time that we take up with courage and clarity a political, social, collective and ideological offensive across the world — a real offensive that permits us to move progressively, over the next years, the next decades, leaving behind the perverse, destructive, destroyer, capitalist model and go forward in constructing the socialist model to avoid barbarism and beyond that the annihilation of life on this planet.”

—Hugo Chavez, at the 16th World Festival of Youth and Students, held in Caracas on August 8-15, 2005

Bin Laden blasts US for climate change

CAIRO – Al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden has called for the world to boycott American goods and the U.S. dollar, blaming the United States and other industrialized countries for global warming, according to a new audiotape released Friday.

In the tape, broadcast in part on Al-Jazeera television, bin Laden warned of the dangers of climate change and says that the way to stop it is to bring “the wheels of the American economy” to a halt.

Charles Manson, the notorious cult leader, has broken a 20-year silence in an interview from his prison cell to warn the world of an impending apocalypse due to global warming.

[snip]

Everyone’s God and if we don’t wake up to that there’s going to be no weather because our polar caps are melting because we’re doing bad things to the atmosphere,” he said.

The automobiles and fossil fuels are destroying the atmosphere and we won’t have air to breathe.

Maybe the lyin’ king could enact more legislation to bring it into compliance. Probably more chance of sending US Marshals to enforce that than to retrieve hildebeasts emails. Even though she’s been ‘warned’. Owwwwwww. Bet she’s skerred now.

there is no dollar limit in this area.

While some “climate change” could be due to man, there are also natural cycles occurring which we can’t control and don’t understand.

There have been numerous ice ages in earth’s history. During the last ice age, Chicago was buried under a mile of ice. All that ice melted due to natural cycles, not because Cro Magnon man had coal fired power plants.

Well, I didn’t know that Bin Laden and Manson had weighed in on global warming.

Well, that settles it for me. Bin Laden and Manson are on board? Then that’s it..........

Overload the warmunists with the following:

1. Define the “correct” temperature range for the planet.

2. Define the “correct” humidity range for the planet.

3. Define the “correct” mean sea level for the planet’

4. Define the “correct” amount of precipitation for the planet.

5. Define the “correct” makeup of the atmosphere.

6. Define the “correct” amount of sea ice at the N/S poles.

7. Define/explain past glaciation and subsequent warming without any input from humans.

Here's Hanoi Jane remarking on the agenda that Obama referred to as (quote) "The fundamental transformation of the United States of America"...

November 22, 1970 -- During a fund-raising tour for GI deserters, Vietnam Veterans Against the War and the Black Panthers, Jane Fonda is quoted in the Detroit Free Press as telling a University of Michigan audience:

"I would think that if you understood what communism was, you would hope, you would pray on your knees that we would someday become communist," and "The peace proposal of the Viet Cong is the only honorable, just, possible way to achieve peace in Vietnam."
http://www.wintersoldier.com/index.php?topic=Timeline
______________________________________________

Fonda made the following statement at the University of Texas:
"We've got to establish a Socialist economic structure that will limit private profit-oriented businesses. Whether the transition is peaceful depends on the way our present governmental leaders react. We must commit our lives to this transition ...... We should be very proud of our new breed of soldier. It's not organized but it's mutiny, and they have every right." --Karen Elliott Dallas Morning News December 11, 1971

From 1972: "I am not a do-gooder, I am a revolutionary. A revolutionary woman."
