"Make no mistake, it will impact how our military defends our country," the president says in excerpts of a commencement address prepared for delivery Wednesday at the U.S. Coast Guard Academy in New London, Connecticut. "And so we need to act and we need to act now."
These guys never give up, every week he makes the same claims, even though we have not had any global warming for almost two decades now. Why would we listen to a guy anyway, whose every idea and policy has been a failure?
Obama loves Big Government. AGW is a Big Government event. Therefore Obama loves AGW.
Of course he does. That's because he doesn't want to do any more than he's forced to do in dealing with real threats. This way he gets to screw over the American people by hurting the economy and restricting their actions.
Global Warming/Climate Change is a great crusade for politicians: they can present a big picture/long term view; it's a good topic to talk about, especially to friendly and neutral audiences (especially academics)...and it naturally appeals to many (how can anyone be against a healthy earth/environment?); action requires large mobilization of re$ource$; BUT can't be 'fixed' in a measurable time frame with visible/demonstrated results worth the effort$... (as opposed to immigration, jobs, and ISIS)
Nevertheless if we do something about it, besides improving children's health, preserving our coastline (resorts, major cities, military bases), it might help with illegal immigration and terrorists...or even the economy (...err, somehow).
How can we wait to act and divert more resources ... maybe our military (?) to it?
In ten or twenty or a hundred years we'll know if it was worth it... n'est-ce pas?
Obama is a lying idiot. He makes these kind of statements to keep his obamabots attention away from the destruction he is creating.
There's really just nothing else you can say.
Sad - no, frightening, really - that our country has deteriorated to such a sorry collection of PC fools that, when this speech is given, they will sit silently soaking this garbage up. Or politely appearing to.
Future world powers that will soon pass us, leaving only a cloud of dust, see this nonsense and lick their chops.

I just finished hundreds of pages of research for a college paper on global warming. There are thousands of scientists who believe people are causing global warming, thousands more believe it is a natural cycle, and thousands more believe it isn't happening. The most concerning to me, were the ones willing to swear that they had been told to change their opinions by politicians.
The data from NASA says that the Earth cooled from 1940 to 1975. Warmed from 1975 to 1994 and had been almost static since then.
Al Gore predicted that the ice caps would be gone by 2013, but the Arctic cap is 50% bigger now than it was in 2012.
He predicted that the polar bears would die out, but the group that counts them says their population is the biggest it has been in 25 years.
Don't be sheep. read up on everything before you decide what is happening.
Oh, and the temperature sensors some of those groups are using were set out in the wild 35 years ago and have never been recalibrated.
China could trade Obama some magic beans and he'd give half our national parks away. He's simple minded.
