Yesterday Obama said :
“We don’t have time for a meeting of the Flat Earth Society Sticking your head in the sand might make you feel safer but it’s not going to protect you from the coming storm.”
Apparently no debate, means debate :
Durbin added on the Senate floor: “I think he (Obama) is on the right track to engage us in a national debate

The Colorado governor happily sold out Colorado to Obama last year, apparently in exchange for the loss of two industries. Magpul already left the state, and now Obama is killing the coal industry here.
The Great Divider focuses on global warming, coal
The IRS has weakened the fabric of freedom by targeting people for political and religious views. The National Security Agency tracks civilian phone calls. The Federal Bureau of Investigation spies on the media. Our economy remains in low gear.
No wonder President Barack Obama wants to talk global warming.
The Great Divider spoke Tuesday to students at Georgetown University and promised windmills and solar gadgets on public lands by 2020. This likely means we’re in for more careless investment of our hard-earned capital.
The president promised tougher emissions standards on new and existing power plants, such as the two coal-fired units that power Colorado Springs. He implied a desire to create even more barriers to completion of the Keystone XL Pipeline, a project that will otherwise create jobs and more potential freedom from Middle East oil.
In confronting coal, Obama took on our country’s most promising export and an industry crucial to Colorado’s stability. Colorado has 10 active coal mines and 14 coal-fired power plants that provide affordable and reliable electricity to the Springs and much of the rest of the state. The coal industry is a major Colorado employer.
“Royalties paid by the industry benefit thousands of Coloradans,” wrote Sean Paige, deputy state director of Americans for Prosperity. “Obama’s war on coal thus isn’t just an attack on affordable energy, but an attack on a major driver of Colorado’s economy, without which the state would be hurting.”
While coal is a proven asset, Obama’s alternatives have mostly proved disappointing. Take Colorado’s own Abound Solar, which the president promoted in a 2010 speech. His administration gave Abound a $400 million loan guarantee and Obama told us the company would “create more than 2,000 construction jobs and 1,500 permanent jobs.” In addition to the jobs, Obama told us the Longmont-based company, and others like it, would help “create whole new industries and hundreds of thousands of new jobs in America.”
Instead, the company went bankrupt in 2012 and left 125 workers unemployed. The failure stuck taxpayers with the loss. There was the Solyndra fiasco and multiple rounds of First Solar layoffs. The list of failed or faltering alternative energy companies, bankrolled by Obama, is long and distinguished.

Earth to Reggie. The entire Northwest Passage was below normal temperatures today.
And this was right after he told us that the global warming canoe team was going to cheat, melting the ice by burning fossil fuels.
You really can’t make this stuff up. Anyway, thanks Reggie for letting us know how they are going to cheat.
During the opening monologue of the NBC Tonight Show, the host said President Obama “believes global warming is getting worse because apparently he’s sweating a lot more during his second term.”
A few months ago, Obama announced that the economy would collapse if he didn’t get his sequester money.
This week we had two world threatening crises. If Putin didn’t give up Snowden on Monday, the planet was doomed. Putin gave Obama the finger, and that is about the last we will hear about it.
Tuesday was the end of the world unless we immediately got rid of coal, which we have been using for several hundred years.
Is there any way we can boot Obama off the USA Survivor series? His show is really starting to suck, beyond comprehension.
A rowboat expedition to the Arctic made possible by climate change | Environment | guardian.co.uk
They haven’t even started yet, how does she know the trip is possible?
The trip is a joke. Their route covers less than half of the Northwest Passage, and the route is blocked with 90+% concentration multi-year ice. They will probably end up dragging the canoe for most of the route.

Water vapor is 30 times more abundant than CO2. It also overlaps most of the CO2 spectra – so in the presence of a significant amount of water vapor, CO2 does not generate a very large part of the greenhouse effect. CO2 is more important at the poles, because there is very little water vapor there.
Methane is a non-player for anything other than endless hysterical propaganda by alarmists.
They are concerned that million of southerners will flee the good weather and high employment – to seek refuge in high crime, high unemployment, bad weather, Democratic mafia run Chicago.
