(CNSNews.com) - Speaking today at the 2015 Paris Climate Conference, President Barack Obama predicted that, unless the nations of the world acted now to combat climate change, countries would be submerged, cities would be abandoned, fields would no longer grown, and there would be new conflicts and floods of refugees.
Here is a key excerpt from the president's speech, which is available in full at the White House website :
This summer, I saw the effects of climate change firsthand in our northernmost state, Alaska, where the sea is already swallowing villages and eroding shorelines; where permafrost thaws and the tundra burns; where glaciers are melting at a pace unprecedented in modern times. And it was a preview of one possible future -- a glimpse of our children's fate if the climate keeps changing faster than our efforts to address it. Submerged countries. Abandoned cities. Fields that no longer grow. Political disruptions that trigger new conflict, and even more floods of desperate peoples seeking the sanctuary of nations not their own.
Obama's full speech at Paris conference
That future is not one of strong economies, nor is it one where fragile states can find their footing. That future is one that we have the power to change. Right here. Right now. But only if we rise to this moment. As one of America's governors has said, "We are the first generation to feel the impact of climate change, and the last generation that can do something about it."
I've come here personally, as the leader of the world's largest economy and the second-largest emitter, to say that the United States of America not only recognizes our role in creating this problem, we embrace our responsibility to do something about it.
Goes back to His Arrogance’s early years of tok’n and snort’n and fry’n those brain cells!
I don’t see any change in the height of water when I’m at the waters edge in San Francisco, Half Moon Bay, Carmel, Santa Barbara, Mexico, etc.
Seems to end where it always does and no measurements to date have been published saying anything has changed.
Sohhhhh, Boo Chit
Well, there you have it.... now that it's been 7 years since Bush, he can no longer say "Bush's fault" at the drop of a hat. And so we have this phantom created bogeyman called CC that is going to get blamed for all his screw-ups. Hard to imagine that this sort of thing gets said with a straight face. Somebody please cue the guys laying on the floor splitting their guts laughing....
Exactly...If there was a rise in the ocean level people living on the coasts would be literally raising alarms (and hell), they’re not.
‘Submerged Countries. Abandoned Cities. Fields That No Longer Grow’
This will happen some day, maybe a few hundred years, or a few thousand years from now. And it won’t be caused by climate change.
History repeats itself, there’s already evidence of lost cities under water or under silt caused by vulcanos or earthquakes. It will all happen again. Now factor in nuclear war, and double the chances.
But it will not happen as a result of man made climate change.
What they're thinking has nothing to do with science, real or imagined.
What they're thinking is most of us dead, the rest in chains.
For now, they think "Climate Change" is the key to that door.
i only hope hes submerged at some point, frigging turd floater.
This is just Barry again trying to change the subject.
They got a name for the weiners in the world, he needs a name when he loses—call him Deacon Non sequiter.
Obama..hey! Obama! AlGore already predicted this non-existent catastrophe and it didn’t happen. And while we’re at it, your gun grabber allies keep predicting blood will flow in the streets if we allow citizens to carry guns to defend themselves, and that keeps not happening too.
So, no, we’re not buying changing our lifestyles to prevent the disaster that keeps not happening, and we’re not going to allow you to disarm us to prevent the disaster that keeps not happening.
Obviously obama has had so much fudge packed that he can’t help it flowing out his mouth! And I just had a classic, A Charlie Brown Christmas ruined with bathhouse barry and moochelle being inserted into the 50th Anniversary program, I couldn’t get to the remote in time.
President Camacho: S__t. I know s__t's bad right now, with all that starving bulls__t, and the dust storms, and we are running out of french fries and burrito coverings. But I got a solution.
South Carolina Representative # 1: That's what you said last time, dips__t!
South Carolina Representative # 2: Yeah, I got a solution, you're a dick! South Carolina, what's up!
The sea swallowing villages? Submerged countries? Since when is sea level different in different parts of the world?
Two out of three if ISIS gets a Nuke.
Does anyone really listen to this Moron, except the Congressional Republicans that is?
Given his track record, I don’t want his hands anywhere near the climate.
This morning, Yahoo Finance has a link to a story about how climate change can wreck the economy of the world - when business folks are into it you know there are Trillions to be made off the lowly tax-paying subjects....
