“Ultimately, if you think about all the youth that everybody has mentioned here in Africa, if everybody is raising living standards to the point where everybody has got a car and everybody has got air conditioning, and everybody has got a big house, well, the planet will boil over — unless we find new ways of producing energy.”
The man is a bona-fide whack job.
On the other hand, he believes that bankrupt scam green energy companies will create five million jobs.
This is what happens when a third-world community organizer with no work experience gets the entire press corpse to put their knee-pads on.
Obama originally fixed the climate in 2008, but now he has pushed back the fix until 2016
McCarthy signaled that she was ready for the fight, saying that the agency would continue issuing new rules, regardless of claims by Republicans and industry groups that under Obama the EPA has been the most aggressive and overreaching since it was formed more than 40 years ago.
Obama never lets reality get in the way of his disordered thought process
“Can we stop talking about environmental regulations killing jobs? Please. At least for today?” said McCarthy, referring to one of the favorite talking points of Republicans and industry groups.
Republicans like West Virginia Democrat Joe Manchin – whose state is in a depression because of the EPA.
“Let’s talk about this as an opportunity of a lifetime, because there are too many lifetimes at stake,” she said of efforts to address global warming.
I know that my life would be improved if we could slow the growth of CO2 by 1% less than it might have been otherwise.
“Climate change will not be resolved overnight,” she added. “But it will be engaged over the next three years – that I can promise you.”

He actually fixed the climate in 2008, but will never bypass the opportunity to further wreck the constitution.

It was a hot July afternoon 38 years ago, nearly 92 degrees, when Teamsters president and labor icon Jimmy Hoffa is said to have opened the rear door of a 1975 maroon Mercury in the parking lot of the Machus Red Fox restaurant, in Bloomfield Hills, Mich., and climbed in.

WHY WE’RE HERE
The Mainstream Last First adventure began earlier this month, when Paul Gleeson, Frank Wolf, Denis Barnett and I set out on our attempt to become the first people to cross the 3,000-km Northwest Passage in a single season using human power.
Not going to happen.
We are rowing a purposebuilt, 25-foot rowboat on a journey to highlight issues of climate change and arctic sovereignty, as well as the historical significance of the route to Canada.
Yes, the Arctic climate is much colder than it was 70 years ago.
Our destination is Pond Inlet, Nunavut, on the east coast of Baffin Island, and we are hoping to make it there by early fall after 90 days along a route that is only recently navigable because of the Arctic’s melting ice.
That ice crushing your boat doesn’t look melted. The route is historically navigated, but is only recently navigable. Pass the choom, please.
.
The rowers have been obscured by clouds for several days, but radar from two days ago shows how close the Beaufort Sea ice was to Cape Parry on Sunday. It is undoubtedly much closer to the rower’s tiny island now, where they are stuck in a storm.
It is dangerous to listen to greedy people who are looking to make money off your suicide mission.

The game is over. There is no “new set of rules.” Just a bunch of true believers stuck in the ice in the Northwest Passage, and a bunch of scientists trying to keep their funding coming in.
Normally the high Arctic has about 90 days above freezing. This year there was less than half that.

Pay no attention to those sunspots.
The IPCC forecasts 8-24 inches of sea level rise this century, but that doesn’t work for alarmists, so they just pull numbers out of their asses in a desperate attempt to steal money and freedom from the public.

But Obama only sees 2,000 jobs from a thriving economy with abundant low cost energy.
My hope would be that any reporter who is looking at the facts would take the time to confirm that the most realistic estimates are this might create maybe 2,000 jobs during the construction of the pipeline — which might take a year or two — and then after that we’re talking about somewhere between 50 and 100 [chuckles] jobs in a economy of 150 million working people.”
